Quick note to all Amigans. It seems my accounts on Amiga.org (and Amigans and Amiga.net) were hacked by person or persons unknown.

Anyway, thanks to the speedy Amiga.org administrators I an now back in control (of my Amiga.org account at least).

Happy New Year

TrevorD

Don't know how this happened Trevor, but please do what you can to prevent it from happening again.  My heart may not take another shock like that one. :lol:

Glad to see it was not true.  I guess those few that said "I told you so" have some crow to eat.

Enjoy the meal guys!:laughing:

I was see the very same post on three forums and i dont think that all this forums were hacked.

But the hoax start last year, with the release in summer.

I think Piru explained well how the hack may have happened.  I think that Trevor may have been guilty of using the same password on all three sites, or perhaps Trevor's computer has been breached and hacked to obtain his passwords.

What ever the cause, I hope that it is all corrected now, for Trevor's peace of mind, and more than that, I am just glad that it turned out to be a hoax.

I sent in my deposit money for my "First Contact" AmigaOne X1000 today and I am excited that it will not be too long now before it is in my hands.

I wonder if it was just a coincidence that the hoax happened on the same day that the emails requesting the deposits to be paid was sent out?

Reminder to all "First Contact" X1000 buyers, we have a Social Group started here on A.org for you to join and discuss your systems.
