OK, so I did a little digging into this whole gravatar thing. Turns out the hack happened almost 2 years ago.
F’ing AV pop-up. This is the kind of distortion that’s usually reserved for the media.
I don’t recall hearing anything from Gravatar or WP at the time though. If you haven’t changed your password in the last year, it’s still probably a good idea just to be safe.

LOL…that’s happened to me, as well. I switched to WordFence and found their notifications are timely and reliable. So far. 🙂

That’s all good and well, but not an option for free users. If you use WordPress.com, the only way to get plug-ins is to pay $600 a year for the business plan.
Ain’t no hosting worth that. 😀 I’m getting the new site set up for roughly a tenth of that. I am definitely looking into the various security plug-ins available as well.

I didn’t know Gravatar was hacked two years ago. I was blissfully oblivious. 😅

That’s the trouble. I don’t think many of us did. WordPress MAY be the biggest user of Gravatar also, so it’s VERY troubling that they apparently didn’t pass the news along to their users.

Never heard of Gravatar before I started blogging on WordPress.

Me neither. I’m sure they had delusions of controlling everybody’s internet wide identity logo, but I don’t think they got much beyond WordPress.
