We recently learned that a third party had obtained access to a set of Tumblr user email addresses with salted and hashed passwords from early 2013, prior to the acquisition of Tumblr by Yahoo. As soon as we became aware of this, our security team thoroughly investigated the matter. Our analysis gives us no reason to believe that this information was used to access Tumblr accounts. As a precaution, however, we will be requiring affected Tumblr users to set a new password.
For additional information on keeping your accounts secure, please visit our Account Security page.
If you’re wondering why you were forcibly logged out of Tumblr with no warning and required to reset your password today, see above.
You know what would have been better than kicking me out and forcing a password change with no explanation, making your homepage look like a phishing site, Tumblr? SENDING OUT AN EMAIL OR SOMETHING.
Wow I’m glad that didn’t happen to me that’s shady as shit looking???
HEY GUYS THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT:
I’ve already been forced to reset my password just now, but I’ve also seen several people on my dash who have basically lost their blogs because they had those blogs tied to defunct e-mail addresses they no longer had access to - and tumblr is giving no option for resetting your password without access to the e-mail they send you
If you haven’t been hit with the password reset yet - and it seems to be rolling out in waves - this would be a really good time to be sure your e-mail preferences are up-to-date in your tumblr account. If you can’t access the reset e-mail when they send it to you, you’re locked out.
Hopefully they’ll fix this or come up with a work-around, but in the meantime, be prepared.
Signal boost in case any of my followers haven’t gotten this yet. Check your emails, make sure that shit current.
@roublardise yo thats what happened to you just so you know
