I just saw that I have a board I did NOT create called, "i make lots of money" and what looks like some kind of multi-level marketing scheme or something (as if I am going to click on it to find out)....seriously?

Anyone else had this happen??

I saw a news article that they were hacked - not sure if it is related, but I'm thinking it might be.

Yes, that happened to me! When I logged into Pinterest, I had a message saying that my account might have been compromised and to change my password. I saw that I had a board I did not create (similar theme as yours, but more like "how to succeed" or something). I changed my pw and deleted the board. I really wonder how the breach occurred?

Eta: there were no pins associated with the board.

I changed my password and deleted it, but ugh. No message saying it was compromised and I only noticed the weird board because I was adding one.

I just checked mine, and everything looks ok, but thanks for the heads up. I think I'll change my password to something a little harder!
