Yellow banner stating my email addy is invalid and now can't send PMs

[MONK]

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.

Everything seems to be working for me. Post #2 may be on to something.

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.

I sent Anthony your post #1. It went through.

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.

I received a conformation form Anthony that he got my e-mail. You should have or should be receiving a direct PM from Anthony as to the why's and wherefore's.

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