EMAIL STATES:
We want to inform you about a security issue involving one of our third-party service providers that may have affected some of your personal information. Here's what you need to know.
What happened
On February 5, 2026, we were alerted to a vulnerability in a system operated by one of our email service providers. This flaw may have allowed unauthorized access to some Flickr member information. We shut down access to the affected system within hours of learning about it.
What information was involved
Your passwords & payment card numbers were not affected.
Depending on your account, accessible information may have included:
Your name & email address
Flickr username & account type

MY ADVICE:
Change your password, and if you use that Email / Password Combination ANYWHERE ELSE Then go change that password too!!
Nevet EVER trust a company that tells you they’ve been hacked but your passwords safe.
TRUST ME, They’ve no idea if your password is safe or not!!
