Changing your password doesn’t fix anything.
I’m changing passwords every month and suggest you do the same.

I know.
And then if you used Paypal your home address and email address are still stolen…
So what good does it do to change your password if the hackers can get in any time they want? I just went in and updated all my personal info to bogus info, and will just never shop there again. Would delete my account, but don’t see a way to do it. I use paypal, so at least they don’t have any financial info
This is just good practice, mainly because if they had access, anybody could have had access. Changing your password is the least you can do, it prevents people from accessing your Gearbest account. Next to that, if you use the same password for multiple websites, change is everywhere to a unique one for each website.
And you’re right, in the future you might want to change your password again if the fix the problem,
I just assume that when I give info to a Chinese company, all my data is “hacked”.
Here’s info about Gearbest basically denying they were hacked over a year ago. Apparently, nothing has changed with that company.
My data is so fubared that even the hackers are confused

It’s all I can do for now. 
Interesting to read that Zaful, Rosegal, DressLily and Gearbest are having the same parent company (Globalegrow). And if you belive whats written on vpnMentor they all have the same security problem.
Changing the password is useless unless they fix the breach. Only if you use your GB, Rosegal,DressLily. . . password also on other sites (like your e-mail acc. . . .)it is usefull to change the password (for your e-mail. . . ).
This explains why Google sent me a “your gmail account may have been breached” or “Was this you”. Statement yesterday. Changed my email password.
I kind of figured they would be lax on security. My purchase history is rather boring. But on the bright side of these high volume data leaks is your information will have to shifted through millions of other peoples data, that is unless your a specific target.
I think, instead of welcoming Gearbest on this site with open arms - they should now be banned. End of.
Yes I like cheap lights, but not at the expense of giving away my personal data.
I would love to read any arguments for them to carry on ‘business as usual’ on this site.
After reading those articles they should not be on here.
I agree.
I have not bought anything from them in 2 years. Should I be Concerned?
I guess they still have my info?
Better safe than sorry. Changing the password now may or may not help, but it certainly shouldn’t hurt even if it means we need to change it again in a few weeks.
Sadly, there are no consequences for the vendors that carelessly handle your data. So these things just happen again, and again, and again…
Equifax comes to mind. :rage:
They do, and so does the hackers, in fact, after reading that link given above - ANYONE can do it.
There are even youtube videos showing you how to.
The only way to send these idiots with no care or thought for your personal details (this has gone on again and again, and again) a message is to completely cut them out, like a wart - it’s the only thing that will change their ways.
We all see on here how little respect for the customer Gearbest has - let’s be clear about this - all they want is your money at ANY cost.
From what I’ve read and has been echoed above they don’t even need your password (the hackers) - that is they are getting in without it! The door is still open too apparently and has been for quite a while - from what I’ve read it’s the app that has allowed this - they knew about it and did nothing. They don’t even have the decency to admit it and warn their customers - in fact they deny it.
Change your password not in gearbest but any site where you reused same password
