Default Possible hacker...MOD, please read

I received a PM from durkheim7 stating:

[Hello,
I'm new here and I just wanted to say "hi"

Take care.]


This person has no posts and why the heck would that person not post it in the introduction area?

As I Googled his username I found this http://getk2.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-3321.html

Is this a coincidence? Just wanted to pass this along to let you know and let everyone else know.

He has been banned and Admin/Staff has been notified.

Very weird situation about his IP address,etc.

We will get to the bottom of this.

I advise people NOT to respond to any of these message's that you deem suspicious.

Thanks

Almost certainly a hacker. They can do some serious damage too. I remember when the Kramer Guitars forum got hacked, tons of old posts (lots of good info) were lost and the whole forum went down for a little bit. Very annoying!

I received the pm just after midnight this morning. I did click on the link and it brought up religious stuff. I do not think the link was malicious. I did respond to him to ask why is he sending me a PM when he should post to introduce himself. I have not received a response.

MOD, thanks for jumping on this.

Hope you didn't just find a keylogger on that site....

Never click a link from someone you don't know.
