Subject: Phoney messages
I just wanted to say that it seems somebody has been sending messages posing as me or at least on my behalf. I got a message from Nirvana yesterday that was apparently a reply to a message that I had sent to her or to one of her fellowships. It's been a little frustrating because she was offline when I received the message and has been offline since, so I haven't been able to clarify where the message came from exactly. I hope that my account has not been hacked. The message seemed to have cut and pasted portions of an actual message that I sent a couple of weeks ago to my fellowship members, but mostly stuff added that has nothing to do with me. Someone seems to be posing as me for a joke. I just wanted to put this on the main brainking board in case other people have been receiving such messages. Please let me know if you have.

Heluvagi: I haven't received any such messages from you at all, or any spam from anyone in a while anyway.

However that is not the reason for my post. You should change your BK password immediately, if you have not done so.

Also you should probably change your password for your associated email account just to be safe.

Heluvagi: Hacking is at a new level today but it is mostly aimed at bank accounts rather than websites.

Purple: your email address is in the account details here. That can be used to send fake emails loaded with viruses. ... which can lead to your computer being compromised.
