Dutton - Has the site been hacked? - bathtub tom

I've received two emails, allegedly, from webmaster@honestjohn.co.uk . They both say: Unfortunately we have deemed it necessary to remove your post. Please refer to our backroom policy –

They refer to a thread about four years old!

Is the site secure?

No need to panic. We've had a few people resurrecting old threads and trying to get free publicity for their product or service, relevant to the thread topic. I normally delete just the offending post: I must have deleted the whole thread by mistake. Sorry!

This link looks dodgy - it invites you to down load a file. Same message and link posted elsewhere. I strongly suggest no-one opens the file.

(Thanks, FP - that post is now hidden)
