Today I received the following email:

RDG,

A request to reset the password for your account has been made at Gallery.

You may now log in to gallery.menalto.com by clicking on this link or copying and pasting it in your browser:

http://gallery.menalto.com/user/reset/...[hidden]

This is a one-time login, so it can be used only once. It expires after one day and nothing will happen if it's not used.

After logging in, you will be redirected to http://gallery.menalto.com/user/...[hidden] so you can change your password.

This is just a heads up to make you aware.

I don't currently have an installation of Gallery and haven't been keeping up to date with the site, so I know this is not something I've requested. I went ahead and changed my password just in case but I didn't do it by using the link in the email, I just went to the Gallery site and changed it from there.

Why anyone would want to gain access to my Gallery account is beyond me. It's not like it contains any personal or financial information. Maybe they just wanted to spam the forums.

Anyway just a heads up in case anyone else has this happen to them.
