Don't be so snippy... It is a shame that they did not let you know... I am stunned... Most don't tell about breaches or lapses in their security until weeks or months later, now-a-days.
I was just saying change your password and have done with it. No need to cry over spilled milk.
And, as for me not having a Ferrari ain't got cr*p to do with me not having Comcast. Piss poor analogy in this case.
I was just letting you know I would not have seen an email from them; 'cause I don't use them.
Don't be so snippy? Seems like pot calling the kettle black. The fact of the matter is, what you posted was obvious. It's as simple as that. No, it wasn't a poor analogy, it's just apparently one you don't understand. You're focused too much on the "Ferrari" part instead of the entire analogy. You could put anything in there. How about a Ugo? The point is, it would be like me going into a thread here and saying, "I don't have a water block, so I wouldn't know what to do about your water block issue." It's just one of those things that you really don't need to let everyone know. It's essentially meaningless information. I wasn't being snippy, you inferred that from my language, but did so incorrectly; I was merely stating that you didn't say much. I probably should have stated in my original post that "I know the first thing I should do is change my password", especially given the number of breaches lately and the articles that cover them, and changing your password first being common practice. Nonetheless, I should have at least excluded that from "didn't say much", because some people might not know. I think it annoys me (and something I tend to interpret as demeaning) when people say I'm worried.
Unfortunately, this form of communication causes a lot of meaning to be lost, studies have found.
I answered this, too; by stating, I don't have them and would not get an email... so no opinion (concerning my first post).
However, I hope the answer above is suitable for you.
If you want certain answers to your threads; then, post a list of what you want and I'll pick from the list next time!
You don't need a list, you just need to consider how much your post is actually contributing. Like I said, it seems that people either don't know about it or really don't care, so I'll likely just end up talking to Comcast directly.
This is kinda bad on comcast's end for not notifing customers. But as was mentioned most people probably use a web base email provider anyway and not one of there isp.
It doesn't is a problem on Comcast's part. Again, it doesn't matter if people use a different, non-ISP-issued email. The problem here is that the password for the entire account is the password for the email; that means they have the ability to do whatever the account affords them, which may involve cancelling or adding services. I'm not 100% certain, but I am 100% certain that it isn't just email that is the issue. They have access to calls coming into the home, and speech-to-text messages that hit the answering machine, which may contain confidential information.
People are focusing way too much on the email side of things. At the same time, I don't know what was compromised, if account credentials were at all. Comcast never said anything and seemingly left customers (the ones who knew) in the dark, which was the point of the original post.
