In August 2022, the free online book club BookCrossing suffered a data breach that impacted 1.5 million members. The breach led to the exposure of data including Email addresses, Usernames, Full names, Dates of birth, IP Addresses and Passwords stored in Plaintext. The breach occurred due to BookCrossing exposing a database backup from almost 9 years ago (2013-01-13). The website was breached by @mastiff.

While there I noticed some BookCrossing books and chose ""Executive Action"" by Richard Doyle (BCID 826-1326125) to take with me on the trip back to the UK, read and then release again. Also, in Croydon's internet cafe called Nirvana, there are some BookCrossing books as well as an article about BookCrossing pinned up on the wall. So if anyone is out there in Croydon and wants a book to take travelling with them, check out Nirvana or the Star Lounge. Both do great coffee and have great service! (say thanks for the free plug, both places - lol!). Although I live in the UK, I have ticked the ""yes, please keep me informed!"" box about meetings as I know quite a few online who live in the States whom I am sure will be interested. We all met originally in a yahoo chatroom called Books & Literature and then a group was formed about 7 years ago called Gorpies and some still keep in contact from this. As a lot of those involved are bookworms I am pretty sure they will be interested - and so I am off to tell them now - and then I must think of somewhere to release my book!

I am an Aussie Brit who has also lived in Canada and is now living in the UK and trying to visit family in Australia as much as possible. I'm an anglophile - cos I fell in love and married a Brit! I am a member of a yahoo group called Gorpies and the gorpsters all originally met in a yahoo chatroom called Books and Literature. One of those B&L'ers created a room called Gorpies, which was known for its friendliness (the room description was ""relax, enjoy and have fun while respecting others). It was in Gorpies that I met the man who became my husband so Gorps has a special place in my heart. Plus a lot of Gorpies members are bookworms - well, we originated from a books room so I guess that says it all! Anyways, I am off now to tell the gorpers about BookCrossing cos I am sure they will love the idea - that is, if they don't know about it already!
