WHAT HAPPENED

In May 2024, The Post Millennial - the conservative news website - suffered a
data breach
[https://www.mediaite.com/politics/conservative-news-websites-hacked-replaced-with-page-leaking-private-information/]. 

The breach changed parts of the website without permission and exposed several
sets of data. One set included information about hundreds of writers and
editors, such as IP addresses, home addresses, and email addresses.

Another set included tens of thousands of site subscribers, with names, emails,
usernames, phone numbers, and plain text passwords.

A third set included tens of millions of email addresses from mailing lists that
were allegedly used by The Post Millennial. This part has not been fully
verified.


HOW TO STAY SAFE

 1. Go to https://thepostmillennial.com/sign-in
    [https://thepostmillennial.com/sign-in]

 2. Click “Forgot your password?“

 3. Enter your email and click “Send me reset password instructions”

 4. Open the email from ThePostMillennial and follow the link to set a new
    password.

Also, be careful with emails or messages about news subscriptions, political
content, account alerts, or password resets.The exposed details could help
scammers make a fake message look connected to your account.


WHY THIS BREACH MATTERS

Even though this breach happened back in 2024, leaked data doesn't just expire.
It keeps getting bought, sold, and reused by scammers. 

And even if you've never used this exact site before, your email may have still
ended up in it through a partner, data broker, or another service behind the
scenes. 

If you've ever reused this password anywhere else, it's worth taking a minute to
secure it now.
