If anyone here received an email from me last night or this morning with a spammish looking link, I apologize. Looks like I was hacked somehow. I've taken measures with my account to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Friggin' hackers...I swear.

I never open blind links in emails, especially if they end in .php. That is programming code that I know well: it can do some evil things. I immediately deleted your email. No harm, no foul.

Yeah...I never click links like that either Rick. Which is why I'm puzzled as to why I got hacked.

Glad for this post. I got called away from my tablet this morning before I opened it. (It looked a little phishy so I didn't open it right away.)

Unfortunately I opened it and couldn't get rid of it w/ my existing Avast program. Each re-boot to remove threat was unsuccessful and pissin me off. On the advice of our youngish computer savvy bassist I installed Malwarebytes for free. Got rid of Spam REAL fast! Me happy camper.
