Comment on It Happened again just logged in and it was under anothers username. I am sure I can't be the only one this has been happening to. Is this not a big security risk?

  No, this is simple IT support work. If you can’t reproduce it, and you can’t evidence that it happened, there’s nothing people can do. You’ve given them no real place to start.

  It’s effectively like saying “there’s a misspelling in this dictionary” and giving no further information.

  It’s important for the purpose of evidence.

  There’s no harm of dox towards the user you logged in as because that is publicly available and as long as you’re not sharing anything like their email, what is the harm? Just showing a screenshot of the page where it shows their username on your session is suffice. Blur anything private, if needed.

  But there’s nothing anyone can do with the information you’re giving here. There’s too much data to parse through to determine what was the invalid login.

        Yea because if i was a troll or prick or something and logged into your account I could get you banned for whatever. And no one deserves that. Because this is not Reddit.
