    Hi all,

    As a number of you have noted, the spambots are managing to squeeze through and end up sending you PMs. Thank you for reporting them all and please do not click on any of those links.

    A few bots seem to have taken over old members which leads me to think there was a password leak somewhere. Please update your passwords if you haven't done so in a while or if it is shared with another site or app. So far, I haven't seen it take over any newer member so it's probably from a time when people's passwords weren't particularly sophisticated. Nevertheless, it's good practice. Authorise 2-factor authentication as well. (It is available on PriusChat).

    Thanks,

    TP and the moderating team
