Doesn't seem terribly toy related to me.

We used to get this stuff in the forum, but now it's showing up on the homepage, like it's news.

What's up?

Lol, I noticed that too. Strange, who knows, could be some M Night Shaymalan (?) twist and it turns out RTM was the spam bot all along! or something...

Well, that's a new twist. It'll sit there for a few more minutes while I scratch my head some more and then delete it.
Updated... well well. Aren't they clever. It was a chat that they had opened. I'll check a few boxes and that shouldn't happen again.

I'm probably the only one who finds this fascinating, but I wanted to share just in case... most of our spam before was from Russia and the Ukraine, but lately a large percentage of our spammers have been from China. Could it be outsourcing? Or new businesses entirely?

Well the Chinese managed to get into JPL

Hopefully there's no "installation of malicious software on or unauthorized access to its systems" going on here at RTM. Wink
Yikes!

Yikes indeed!

Nothing like that, I think they were just trying to sell some purses.
