Happy Holidays All!

 

It has come to our attention that a great deal of members have received a p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reminder email in the last few days they did not request. Upon review, it has been determined these have been generated by the Google Bot accessing a portion of our site (the public side of the CERT database, to which everyone has access) and throwing random numbers into the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reminder form. This would generate a p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reminder email for the users who match the numbers the bot was generating. The bot has since been blocked from accessing CERT on our side, and you shouldn't see any more p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reminder emails unless you request them. Please keep in mind, a member may accidentally type the incorrect CID when attempting to retrieve his or her own p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word, and you may still get an email reminder by accident. Rest [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ured, the ONLY person getting this email is you, and your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word & account security are one of our highest priorities.
