<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3505302, member: 90666&quot;]even if you don&#039;t place bids, Sixbid&#039;s hacking means the hackers still have all your personal information including your address etc. I have deleted my Sixbid account and moved entirely to Numisbids. I discovered this weeks ago rather by accident when visiting a Paris auction firm in person to enquire about what seemed like a genuine offer for a coin that a friend had bid on and where the buyer seemed to have walked away. They told me plainly that Sixbid had been hacked. Piecing together information from other sources this was evidently the case - it has nothing to do with the auction house. Looking at the information in the offer my friend has, it contained lots of personal information from his Sixbid account data.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the hackers likely have all the information in your Sixbid account already. Whether or not you use them to bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked the Sixbid website at the time. There was no warning on the main page and only the tiniest subdued notice on the account page suggesting you consider changing your password. I was so appalled at their lack of care to customers, reinforced when I heard that they were denying being hacked in responses to queries, that I deleted my account (you need to write to them to do so, it cannot be done from within the website).</p><p><br /></p><p>Still it is too late for me. The&nbsp; hackers already know where I live and a great deal of other information about me. And they know where you live too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had Sixbid taken even a normal amount of care with this issue - a very prominent banner explaining what happened on the top of the main page, a general advice to be very cautious with anything that might stem from your account data, an apology, a personalized email expressing much of same - then I&#039;d likely not have quit the site. But they showed an utter disregard for the safety of their customers. I wonder are they even in breach of EU GDPR data management requirements (someone here might know what expectations are to a hacking event).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
