Question? Anyone having issues with imgur.com?

[BravoZulu]

Just logged into my imgur.com account and it appears someone has hacked into my account, mongrels!!

It looks like my images are still there but I have had hundreds of idiotic, stupid meme and image files dropped into my account, it will take me hours to sort the mess out

Bloody mongrels!

I am getting some of my images in the thumbnails, most are blacked out. Going into the albums gives all my images but hundreds of rubbish images/, twitter feeds and manga porn in my folders. It seems to me that I have got hundreds of images that are from someone else's account and have bled into my account.

I hope they get this sorted sharpish!

Yes I have balcked out thumbs but if I click them the full image is produced

About one or two months ago imgur sent out an email stating their site was hacked a few years ago. Perhaps that is the issue. My account has not been hacked. I suggest you change your password. OR try this site to host photos It is 100% free.

This image host no longer exists in its previous form and I would suggest its current postion is unreliable @bdpopeye

Here's an article from NOV 2017 about the hack at imgur;

Image-hosting site turned meme social network, Imgur, is the latest tech service to ‘fess up to a security breach. In a blog post Friday it revealed that hackers had compromised its systems in 2014, with ~1.7M emails and passwords affected.

No additional information was apparently compromised in the breach.

“Imgur has never asked for real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally-identifying information (“PII”), so the information that was compromised did NOT include such PII,” it emphasizes.

While the hack occurred three years ago, Imgur says it only came to light on November 23 — when it was contacted by security researcher, Troy Hunt, who had been sent the stolen data as a consequence of running the haveibeenpwned data breach notification service.

Hunt has since tweeted to confirm that the majority of the stolen credentials were already in his database (although he appears to have tweeted the wrong date for the Imgur hack):
