EHM-0654 Murray:
I'm sure I'm not the only member to have received this, but just in case; yesterday, an internet "criminal" exploited a hole in the TeamSpeak forum software to send out a mass email to all their forum subscribers (I've attached the warning below which contains all the details) If you've received this email, DO NOT install the patch mentioned!
