If you get an email message similiar to the one below don't click on
it.  It's part of a malicious spammers idea to infect your computer
and get your password.  It exploits a flaw/ bug in php.  The PHP-Nuke
contains an exploitable SQL injection vulnerability that can be used
by attackers to cause the system to execute arbitrary SQL statements.

Here is a good explanation on how it works.

I've read that this can affect Windoze and Mac OS, linux wasn't
listed.  I'm posting this because most of us use Windoze or OSX at
work.
