Re: Attempted hack

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

Re: Attempted hack

I have posted more information about the issue here. 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.

Re: Attempted hack

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.
