Yeah, lots of folks have been gettng them.

I suspect everyone who is linked or has a user account on the WW website will recieve one.

The Cam has said that we shouldn't worry, we'll probably just get some spam, and such.

I suppose we will see.

What unnerves me is that it's from your own account... and I got one too. Changed my password and e-mailed Google pronto.

sending an email to look like i comes from your own account is not terribly difficult. They dont actually have to have a password or anything to do that.

Ah, good. I was afraid something intrusive had happened. Update: The bastard's sent out a new mail with a forum address instead of the Yahoo account. I guess that the Yahoo account either got shut down or filled with so much invective that he needed a new locale to work from. Considering the general deviousness of WW fans, and the fact that not a few of them are techo-savvy, this might prove to be more interesting that usual for our hacker in the Chinese sense. Time will tell.
