hack attempt?

[catch22]

i thought this was kind of funny, for quite a few reasons.

sorry if this is the wrong spot for this, but here it is, as you can see the date this email was sent. and no, i did not reply with the requested "credentials".

if an SS is needed, I will get that as well.

Catch 22,

our main database lost several individuals game statistics and information in the last downtime. It was a short down time last night lasting about 10 minutes. We are running off a backup server that is inaccessible by us - it only holds temporary information. It seems that only random users were affected, and we have constructed a list of users that need to re confirm their credentials via email. Please respond with your current account name, current password, and the e-mail used to log into your account. In addition please include your ID, and anything strange occurring with your account.

Sincerely, Admin Jason

Don't reply.

It's a old trick.

I think that email address there needs to be added to lets say, several 100 "selected" websites, if they want attention that badly.

Wouldn't do much good I'm afraid. Gmail's filtering can be rather anal retentive when trained right. All that would accomplish would be filling up the spam folder.
