I Got one like this last week, but it was from a Veronica and she had something very ''important'' to give me.

Is anyone else getting these... bizarre messages?

What a weirdo... ignore it.

If nobody else is getting them that means there's something funky on your PC tracking the websites you use and sending you emails that relate to them. Scan, scan, scan.

I have not received that spam. Do not open it. Delete it.

If I do I'm reporting the spam

And send them my flu germs

So far I have got this E-mail as has Bluefish and Militant.

All say they got our contact details from the Org.

Plus the fact the org was down for a good old while.

Was the place Hacked??

And is it safe Now?

It was not hacked, the server was down.

This is somewhat concerning though as e-mails are confidential unless specifically opted in to show by the user.

I would guess someone is just browsing profiles looking for public e-mail addresses. You can remove these by editing your profile under "My Org".

I got it when the org was down too

If not hacked, could it be a virus of some sort?

It's also weird that the day it crashed, the org reached a peak twice on that same day.

The most users ever online was 34,227 on 12/03/2010 at 2:55pm.

The most users ever online was 42,446 on 12/03/2010 at 4:25pm.

^2 peaks as far as I know...

Norton 360 is quite good at killing weird people.

I'm not worried.
