Not sure where to put this. But i just got an email saying that someone tried to login to this account. So just a heads up to all the members make sure your passwords are strong. Thanks.

I also got an email but it stated that I received a private message. It was from Webmaster@ssnakess.com
I opened the email so hoping that there is no malware or virus attached

I just got that same email saying that the person was blocked for 15 mins from trying again and they had the IP address from the hacker !!!

also got a spam PM yesterday but the user name had the word banned under it..
nice to see good security protocols here :)

I have posted more information about the issue here (http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/front-page-news/108467-illegal-logins-failed-login-notification-notification.html). Please do not click on any links that you do not know the user. The email from our webmaster account was just notifying you that you had a PM. Luckily this time around they just seem to be trying to advertise to us. Bloody spam bots.

Malice has been banned so you won't see the PM. It's just one of those "I made money doing this" scams. I can copy/paste it here if you like. I got it as well.
