Id ignore it, is just a futurenet email account. Nothing too official.

I presume you know nothing or have no association with Digital Camera Magazine. It does say its a mass email and its come from the Digital Camera Magazine community.

Sounds like a 14 year old kid has got his random word software to work. Minor, yet embarrassing breach.

The forum was hacked (DC Mag now taken it offline). It's a PM from the admin account to all users.

4chan is a site for all sorts of s**t and nonsense. I think they pull stunts like this quite often trying to bring down sites etc
