Okay that makes sense @beerbot I had no clue we were having attacks like this. I been out of the loop on that one. Sucks....then I get it, you aim to help in this area then. Good bot my friend, had a few rambunctious ones run amuk around here but warning people about theft of accounts is a wise one to have around.
No worries though on this post, I actually work for Visio and the one who wrote this one, I do their marketing. All these links are direct to the actual listed links but I will unshorten them from now on seeing there is issues going on. I appreciate you breaking it down more for me there. I normally use the shorten bitly stuff as a way to keep track of effectiveness for marketing for these guys but there are other ways to keep tabs without worrying users about if a link is good or bad. Thanks for the heads up
