Yellow banner stating my email addy is invalid and now can't send PMs
I opened SL this morning (as I always do) to find some big yellow banner at the top of every page stating my emal addy wasn't valid and that I would need to edit my settings to show a valid email address. My email address IS valid. It also says to "Notify AnthonyG via PM" that I changed my email. The site won't allow me to send a PM.
Obviously, I'm still a member and logged in otherwise I wouldn't be able to post this thread.
What's going on, here?

The internet is under heavy attack right now. Looks like a 'denial of service' type attack, where the net is flooded with packets, so yours can't get through. Huge reduction of bandwidth. There's nothing we (internet users) can do about it.

I understand a DDoS attack. It's not that I can't get through to something/somewhere. I get an error message stating I'm not authorized to send PMs. This yellow banner isn't due to a DDoS attack, either.
Not sure what's going on but something's amiss for sure.

Yellow banner's gone so that's a plus. I'll check to see if I can send PMs. Not sure what happened but hope AnthonyG lets me know in case it's some sort of scam.

Not yet but I PM'ed him asking him what was going on.
