Virus Alert ...

(Posted In)

I'm not sure why we've been chosen for such an honor but it seems that the latest variant of the Sober worm has latched on to Twitch as a respectable enough site to start faking twitchfilm.net email addresses ... checking my email this morning I found messages from six different fake Twitch addresses awaiting my perusal. These are not coming from us or through our servers, from some reason the virus is just picking names and putting them in front of twitchfilm.net ...

So ... if you've gotten an email from someone you don't know at Twitch and it's got an attachment: don't open it. Hopefully this will die down soon ...

See?!? This is what happens when you trash a Star Wars movie. Somewhere, somehow, a geek will get even with you.

Well, there's no such thing as bad publicity.. Although I wouldn't put it past the looney Star Wars fans.. man.. I *LIKE* Star Wars as a whole, but these fans are being sheer assholes. Zero respect.
