Yeah emails were sent to me but I use a mac.. and those pesky little windows executables don't do anything but take up space on my powerbook :-)
sorry to hear about the hijack... IPB can suck like that...

I just got that e-mails, telling to vote for some kind of header or something. But, I recieved your e-mail stating that someone has been doing bad things to this wonderful forum.
Man, some people need to get a life!
I hope that you got it sorted out soon!

I got the email too, but "declined" the .exe downloadable - I figured it was something weird about that one for sure! But hey, I figured I'd come visit anyway, so it worked out well.

Sorry to hear about the attack. Really people do need to get a life, what was the point! Is it possible to get their IP address and do something about it?!
A note to all change your password on a regular basis, create a strong password (Microsoft's Strong password checklist)!

I am sure that it wasn't done for fun, it was done for money. The exe file probably contained a virus or spyware. It may be able to phlish passwords from your computer.
I am really sorry about this. If you happened to have opened this file, you must scan your computer for virus or spyware immediately. If you have any information about the malicious file, please post it here so that other affected members may know what to do.

I can honestly say, that bfarber.com is always on the lookout for people that can't play by the rules. And I didn't receive any emails B -- I'll keep an eye out though
