heres an update about that nasty message

I got an email from that website today apologizing for the nasty email. The message is as follows:
Dear mike5,

I regret to inform you that our forums administration control panel was
compromised today.

The nasty email or private message you may have received was sent by an
unauthorized user and not from any of the staff of Webmaster-Talk

For more information please see this announcement:

Please accept our sincere apologies.

Well it apears that you were right..or their just covering their asses after I sent the email to their bandwith host. Port 80 has become very vulnerable lately..even my isp has begun blocking it (because of server hijacking and email spam)..weve been running our server on port 8090 lately and luckily we have avoided these kinds of problems.
