Not sure where to put this...not ILX, but seems to be the thread.
I got one of those ransomware e-mails about three weeks ago. It got my attention because the subject line had a password I used to use a lot a decade ago but haven't used for ages. The e-mail was ridiculous and of course I didn't respond.
Didn't occur to me until today that a) I still use that password for ILX (an automatic login, so I never think about it), and b) my user profile links to my homepage, and you can get my e-mail address there.
So I'm not 100% sure the e-mail reached me via some ILX security issue (which is 100% my own fault for keeping my name and homepage on my user profile--I'm going to remove those), but it would seem to make sense.

Getting a Norton alert if I try to open all messages in Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here - something about network traffic from www.tentacl.com and/or IP 103.224.182.253 ?
