Looks like yours got hacked as well, but it was actually Oriol's account
that sent the message. I translated the message from spanish using google
translate. Not exactly certain what it was, but it had ogomez92 in one of
the links, which is the name he goes by on twitter and some other places. So
it may not have been spam but something that was unintentionally sent out,
an invite of some kind maybe. It was from a company supposedly based out of
england, so who knows.

Oh no, I think it might have been me whose account was hacked...I'm so
sorry that this happened, I know it's not my fault, but I feel
terrible about it. But I just logged into my email account about 10
minutes ago and saw that my inbox was flooded with all these spam
messages that I had apparently sent out to all the lists I'm
subscribed to, along with everyone else. So I'm doing my best to clean
up the damage, I've changed my password, and I hope that takes care of
it. Again, I sincerely apologize.

Ah, fair enough.
I was just concerned sinse it looked like a rather dodgy link, though of
course anyone can have problems that way just as a consequence of using a
computer.
I hope it didn't do said member or anyone else any serious harm./
All the best,
DArk.

Hi Dark,
I see. Well, that happens not to be the case. Spambots can not just
sign up and send messages as we, the Audyssey moderators, have to
approve first time posts before they can be approved for unmoderated
posting. As it is the message that was sent apparently hijacked a
legit Audyssey member's address rather than hijacking the list. We
are still investigating, but the source was a valid Audyssey member
who has been a member for a long time without this sort of thing
before. We don't blame the Audyssey member in question, but do believe
a spambot or similar hijacked his address.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
I don't think the E-mail itself was a virus from the list, rather a
spambot
who registered and then sent the same mail to everyone's address it
could
find.
the link in the mail may! however give a virus which is why I wrote the
alert.
Beware the grue!¬
Dark.
