Admins,
I just logged onto the forum and a message popped up saying there’d been a data leak and recommended I change my password? Is this legit?

There is nothing on the proboards support forum, and it's news to me. If you do change your password, do so from within the site, don;t click any unknown links etc

I'd imagine this is a Google security thing.
You possibly use the same combination of email/username and password on multiple sites.
If one of those sites has a breach, Google will tell you to change that particular combination on every site you use it.
It's a feature that has been fully rolled out in the last month or so.
