Yup, me too. This user: http://986forum.com/forums/

That user has been deleted. I recommend you change your forum password.

Really? Not that I followed the link, but was there a concern?

rkwei 01-23-2010 02:19 AM

Yes - the concern is there has been a recent spate of spam emails to forum users.

Apparently it's obvious; however, I still don't see why that requires me to change my password.

Boxtaboy 01-23-2010 09:57 AM

Well, one concern is that if whomever did breach the data on this site and got a hold of your email address, that means they probably also possibly cracked your password, which you might also be using the same exact password on other websites. Get it? Safer then, to spend a few seconds at least changing your password to something that doesn't tie into any of your other accounts that you normally have to sign into.

Gent 01-23-2010 03:35 PM

Ah, so there was a data breach. Thank-you, that information makes sense of the suggestion.

It's unfortunate that we can't take more drastic measures against these parasites!
