[Coco] [SPAM] Re: [Color Computer] Coco3.com showing Hacked by orB message

[Bill Collins]

I would exercise caution in possibly giving this hacker you're password by 
attempting to log in at this time.  Obviously the integrity of the code has 
been compromised but we do not fully know to what extent.

This orB (or Bro going by the capital B clue) my be phishing for passwords 
(many people use the same passwords over many of the sites they visit.)

Again, I'd contact the host and roll back to backup prior to this assault to 
guarantee the elimination of any malicious code.  Then get the proper 
updates for the software.  I noticed that they are up to version 2.1.7 and 
the board is running 1.3.
