We’re pretty sure it’s related to the forum hack from last year. We definitely recommend changing your passwords, just to be safe, but I’ve been deleting this type of email frequently from the staff email address with impunity. I’ve avoided the temptation to point out that this is an adult fiction site, so really, it’s not like I’m going to be embarrassed that I read adult material. The email addresses sending the extortion requests are all disposable anyway, so the reply would only bounce back. :sigh:
And thank you, Guest Mary_West for a post that was both highly intelligent and delightfully written!
