I've just received an unsolicited PM with a dodgy looking link inside from the account of Dean in Canuckistan
It looks like he has not posted since 2013 so probably been hacked
wook
here's the message
Learn the secrets every family must know to survive any disaster or crisis situation... Go to the site "link removed"

Me too. I think you are right.

me to, I replied.
There is a posted link and I suggest you don't open it and delete the PM.
Just got one myself, is there anything else we should do bar deleting it?
I opened it and watched it for around a minute, could it be some sort of virus?
Same here...

I got a message last night of five unsuccessful attempts to log in and I know it was not me, so someone is trying to get access to accounts.
I'm bet it's not free cookiesIt's surely something you don't want, be it a virus, adware, spyware or just some scheme to try to rip you off.
If the acc is hacked, the hacker might have changed the PW. But maybe it's worth PMing that acc anyway to see if the owner can still change it for himself and that way both keep the acc and kick the hacker off?
Well, has anybody notified Eddie direct? I'm feeling that maybe we all shouldn't though...
Just this minute received it. Deleted.
I'm beginning to feel left out, no PM!!
Yes - I clicked the "report" button under the message as soon as I received it.
Yes -checked my inbox and I have a PM from Dean I think its going to get canned.
I got one too. My first reaction was the same as you get when somebody knocks on your door at half ten at night... errr ???
Rec'd & deleted; hyperlink not opened.
TT
Received as well, didn't open the link as I thought it was a bit suspicious and deleted it.
Also received the same message and simply deleted it.
I had an email saying someone tried to log in as me unsuccessfully.
Received it also...deleted it (some kind of survival stuff??Yeah,I bet it is)...
...but look at the good side of this...the person who hacked his account could post some FS watches...
Same here, and it´s gone.
Same here...

Me too and PM as well.
I have received e-mail from admin with the IP adress of log attempts. If it is not faked too, it seems it is from China.
I got it too
I clicked it. Hope it did nothing in the background.
RIP
Recieved and deleted

None here but an attempt on the mil watch forum last week- someone is trying it on.

Same here. There was another thread recently saying several members had received hack attempt notifications, so this probably won't be the last time this happens.
