Popular mountain bike websites PinkBike and Trailforks are advising anyone with an account on either site to change their details following a spike in attempted hacks of the websites.
The websites themselves have not been hacked, however they made it clear that there had been a significant increase in login attempts from bots.
An email sent out to anyone with an account said, "...Hackers have not compromised nor accessed Pinkbike or Trailforks’ internal systems, databases, or user information. But your account may be vulnerable if you use the same password on multiple websites.
"To best combat this attack, we’re requiring that all users logging in to their Pinkbike and Trailforks’ accounts confirm that they are logging in by clicking on a link in a security email."
If you have been affected by this attempted security breach, please get in touch and let us know by emailing via info@mountainbikeni.com.
