    Has anyone else got this email? I didn't request a reset so
    I suspect it is a link to a virus so I ignored it.

    No spammer is sending out millions of HAMB p***word reset emails hoping to get someone's HAMB login, what would they do with it? Use your account to sell something? Accounts are free. Someone was trying to change your p***word. I'd report this directly to the admins.

    I think the purpose would be for someone to click on the provided link then they get a virus, ransomware or some other vile infection. Just thought I would put it out there in case someone else gets it and clicks on the link before they think it through.

    It's the lost p***word email... That happens occasionally... Someone might have thought they had that username.

    I wouldn't worry about it unless you start getting a bunch of them.
