Hacked??

08/25/2026 1:08 PM

For Hush or anyone,

I tried twice to make a reply and both took me instead to a spam site--"Your computer has been locked up . . ."

Could CR4 have been hacked?

I dunno what’s up.

I’ll respond with, I’ve recently had an issue with the internal message system.

Might be a system trouble, I chalked up my own issue to a PEBKAC anomaly.

Let’s see what admin has to say.

No, there are no cyber threats to this website at this time.

Thanks for the replies. The first time i thought I had screwed up. The second time said I had better check. Virus scanners here found nothing. And it hasn't happened again--at least not yet.

Well, it has happened again and I wasn't on CR4, which means the cause is at my end. I did quick scans before, so now it's time for deeper/more extensive scans.
