Lord Pachelbel had his seti account hi-jacked.
He's from arstechnica.

Could this be like the email some of us were getting, the email about our Team Anandtech password?

That totally sucks... Freaking scumbags! Glad I've got a decent password on my SETI account.

Nevermind... Tried linking but link doesn't work. Gotta fly... Headed to dinner.

I was wondering about that myself. got that e-mail a few days ago.

looked like this:

You, or the person at this address (68.232.35.27), has requested to send your Team AnandTech password.

until I forced an update on my router a few minutes ago, my wan IP address was 67.64.235.13 for a few weeks.(usually only changes when I shut down my router and/or modem for 15min. so whoever requested that wasn't me, but is appearantly somewhere nearby.

Been a few threads on this the last coupla days...it was someone using adelphia...unknown who that someone is, though.

I looked at the header in my email and it gave me the user name of the person that requested it- from our forum!! I didn't question it too much, as i had some items for sale in FS/FT, and figured they were looking at my profile. I'm not sure if I cleaned my deleted box on Outlook, but I'll check when I get home.

Our email problem is a different 1 from Lord Pachelbel ,he actually had his SETI account taken over!:|.
I hope he can get his account back!

Our email thing is just to do with teamanandtech.com ,your email account can't be taken over using the password from that
