Hi there, I just got 6 e-mails from ebot, stating my username and password (which I did not ask for). Did anyone else get these ? I was wondering whether it was just a software glitch or something I should worry about ... Take care, Jon

I got 6 of the emails this morning and I never asked for it to be sent once.

I got them as well.. I think Mt. EBot had a bad morning. Seems like a system glitch to me. Clint

Me too. Got 6 all sent at 13:10 GMT. I came here to ask the same question and I see that others are experiencing it as well. I wonder what is going on? Is someone trying to log on as other members? Could Renderosity please investigate who (if it was someone) was putting in these requests or what caused the system to send these e-mails out? Regards STORM

Glad to know I'm not the only one Diana... Thanks for your quick response :) Jon

Apparently I type too slow - Diana's response was the only one I saw before my second message :| Thank you all :) Jon

Now guess how many were sent to me... :-)

Hmmm. I didn't get any. Maybe someone is trying to get access to some accounts?

Exactly 6 times for each? Zaphod Beeblebrox would say: 1000 points off for stupidity, but 6 points for cool style... :-)

Same here. What's up? Have fun Dave

I got 6 and my wife got 6 also, and neither of us requested it either... too wierd, and disturbing too.

I also got 6, along with the request to "come back soon". And I thought you were all missing me. LOL

exactly 6 here too, sounds like Mr Ebot is having a little trouble getting his medication right :}

Me too, hmm.. maybe it's indeed a good idea to change my passwort?

LOL, the subject of this thread is a clickable link... maybe we should all email the ebot 6 times each :D (just kidding, honest!)

Maybe someone sent a chain-mail to ebot and he wants to get all the postcards, confusing "send mails to 6..." with "send 6 mails to..." :-)

I got six too! And immediately thought someone had my e-mail password and was trying to get my renderosity password too! I'm glad you guys posted the messages before I got here, else I'd still be paranoid.

I'm still wondering if this is a hack attempt. Since EVERYone did NOT get those ebots. (yes - I just got my 6)

I got six this morning as well, I just came here to ask about it.

Oh, damn, now you got me wondering again!

Well I just got my six also and wondered 'what the heck'. So here I am and found lots of others too. There is some comfort in that. Maybe a hacking attempt to gain cc info, which is silly since they don't keep it around, or perhaps break into our store purchases for downloads? Or maybe it's just a snafu... The mind boggles..

I responded in post #3. Clint MarketPlace Manager

Me Too. It seems every body got them. That mail server has been busy ;-)

What's wrong about being members and receive newsletters and automated generated e-mails ? It's generally what happens ! And I don't read them generally. So, where is the problem with that ? Good Evening. Alfie.

Oh good, so it's not just me. :)

I think Mt. EBot had a bad morning. Seems like a system glitch to me. Clint << Is that the official Renderosity response Clint? If it is that's rather scary.

:) pendrain. No, thats not the office response. I hope to have that posted soon. Clint

ummm...it's Pendarian Clint LOL!!! I'm glad to hear that, I was getting kinda worried...I think that it's gremlins personally :)

Yikes..Sorry about that Pendarian. ;) Clint

LOL!! That's okay Clint, I've been called worse then that :) I STILL think it's gremlins.....or maybe armadillos.

Maybe it's gremlin armadillos. Kate (who also got the password reminder 6 pack)

I got 6 requests as well... I wonder if someone may be using a program, not to get passwords or e-mail, but to bog down the site by requesting that information. Allow me to explain, I was told the same thing was happening briefly on Renderotica, so I looked at the server logs and sure enough, someone from Russia was running a script program that would ping the link for that area 1,000's of times. This didn't mean that he/she would get that information, but actually create a server overload by having the E-Bot doing multipule tasks. Fortunately, Renderotica's E-Bot doesn't work yet, so his attempts didn't yeild much success (except for slowing it down some, but not as much if our E-Bot did work) and we banned his IP Address to keep it from occuring again. I think this is what may've been happening here as well. Something that you might want to check, Clint. Jack

Count me in for 6 e-mails also, glad to see I wasn't the only one. Agent Smith

I didn't get any, but one of my friends (who hasn't logged on in a week) got 6 of them.

I got the standard 6 for one of my accounts - TheDreamWeaver, but got none for Lucy_Fur. I use different e-mails accounts for my 2 usernames. TheDreamWeaver goes thru my local isp e-mail & Lucy_Fur goes thru a freebie web-based email, Angelfire. Might there be a connection w/that?

This is indeed very disturbing - even for an e-bot prob - I hope once the situation has been resolved or any info at all is available that they post it on the main page.

I didn't get anything...but also, I didn't get any emails at all from Ebot, even though I saw 5 comments appear on my pictures...weirdness in a botttle.
