    URGENT ALERT

    This is most important,


    It has come to our attention that members were recently sent an IM which appeared to come from a moderator of this site asking you to log in to a given link stating that it was to do with updating the coding on this site.
    This is a fake/false message sent to you by a person/persons unknown in an attempt to gain access to your accounts.

    Please completely DISREGARD the IM sent you and DO NOT log into it.

    To do so will compromise your account as has already happened to some of the accounts affected. It has been done to detect your log-in details and passwords.

    IMPORTANT:

    If you HAVE clicked the link, and logged into the fake AP page, you must immediatly change BOTH your password AND your email address on your account.


    Please contact Admin if you require further information.

    AnnD
    Site Supervisor.

        Why take the chance, Kari? I wouldn't have read it had someone not told me about it. Maybe Kevin should send it out as a mass IM.

          I didn't know about it until I read Anns thread it's up to them on what else to do.

    Thankyou, but you are not alone with this site, earlier this week Pulitzer and Helium were also attacked; so put your defences up all, there's a major battle going on!

    Thanks for letting us know about the "hacking" site. I don't see why people would want to do this, anyways. If I see the IM - I now know not to go to it.
    Thanks again. Because I don't think I would be happy if this had happened to me...

    I don't always see the message of the day and would think this is important enough to warrant a message to everybody (I assume Kevin can do that) as not everyone views the forums.

    Maybe if we track the ip's of the computers used for the messages, then maybe we can figure out who to go after?
