Hacking of forums...

Hey, folks, be advised there is a new hack out there that has targeted sites running software similar to ours that will install malware on your computers. It links you to a video site that looks like YouTube (but isn't) then tells you that you need to download a codec, which actually installs the malware on your computer. This affects Windows-based computers.

B190.com is okay now, and it shouldn't be vulnerable to the exploit they are using, but as always be careful both here and at other sites. We don't get too many links here to videos so be wary of any you see, especially from new users. (We delete spam and the like as soon as we find it, but there's always a possibility that you'll see it before we do.)
