[Savannah-hackers] RE: my "simon" account seems to have been hacked

[Marshall, Simon]

Guys, please can someone in accounts follow this up (disabling &
reenabling my account)?

I've had 2 emails already today from list servers noting that the
SoBig.F virus has been sent from address@hidden to their lists.

Thanks, Simon.

fencepost as been cracked recently and maybe accounts was deactivated
at this occasion.
It can explain why you cannot login.

People at address@hidden should be able to help you out.
