Just got a private message from one of the forum users. How likely is this to be true ?

QuoteHi Glenn, hows life? Good I hope.

Cos my pms have been opened before I looked at them, also my emails.

Just letting you know Glenn.

Pretty unlikely... I'd guess that either someone knows his password (so he should change it) or he has some sort of keylogger or malware on his computer tracking keystrokes which gave someone else his password.  If someone is reading his emails as well, then the problem is not with your forum.  (although, I shouldn't discount your forum possibly having been comprismised which could have put something on his computer).  What is the URL to your board?
