Jens Severin Posted October 13, 2021 at 06:50 AM Posted October 13, 2021 at 06:50 AM Hi, I have received a notification from Apple that my Vatsim account was found in a data breach. Is this something staff are familiar with? Is any action required? Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Severin Posted October 13, 2021 at 02:34 PM Author Posted October 13, 2021 at 02:34 PM Hi, i use apples integrated system for storing passwords (so I can use Face ID to log into stuff), and the notification came from my settings app, I don’t think it is a scam, as it isn’t a website or email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bozwood-Davies Posted October 13, 2021 at 02:50 PM Posted October 13, 2021 at 02:50 PM Hi Jens, There hasn't been a breach on VATSIM's end (That I know of) but I'm sure we'd have received a lot more comments on it if such a thing had occurred. Are you using the same password for VATSIM as on another site which has been breached? That would also alert apple's system. You can look at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your email is in a leak, and also using https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords to see if your password has been leaked somewhere.
