Title: TeamSpeak Virus Warning
Post by: EHM-0654 Murray on April 15, 2007, 08:56:40 am

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!
