Anyone else see a weird disappearing post from community admin asking for attention? Dont know if forum hacked or legit request: "I want more, give me more. Support everything, do everything. Use all of my cores and threads and do a better job." If legit im all ears. If not in a sucker...

I think the post is from a dodgy mirrored copy of the Audiomulch web site. The url and email with link I received are pasted below. May be an attempt to harvest passwords?

Following the links is not recommended. I've inserted two spaces after the http// to disable them. Posting this for info and warning only.

Thanks for raising this. A potential security breach would be of concern, however this was not a security issue. I've been updating the website software (to make it more secure). Unfortunately I did not disable email notifications on the test site. Sorry for the disturbance. The test site, staging.audiomulch.com, has the ip that you named 216.92.0.68. The message was from the person doing testing on the test site, who will remain nameless. As for the content of the message, I don't want to announce anything until I have more confidence. Ross.
