Security Warning
Now it is probably not my place to put this but since there appears to be no admins online i thought that i would warn you.

DO NOT follow any links posted by the user Koum.... He appears to have found a way to extract your password from codewalkers. He may be storing these details!

If you have followed this link i suggest changing your password right away.

RE: Security Warning
Also these links look innocent, they look like internal codewalkers links but they run a javascript file from a remote server. I would just steer clear of these links...

RE: Security Warning
I've received a few too, pretty dangerous. Changed my passwords now.

Edit:

I thought he was banned now...

RE: Security Warning
any idea how he was doing it or any idea on how to fix it? if it was a simple javascript code I would think it would be easy to figure out how he did it and fix the security hole.
