Am I Being Hacked?


I have this orange rectangle on the bottom right of my page here at BP and it is asking for my email. Does anyone else have this?

  I thought it might be my computer. BP needs to get rid of this annoyance as soon as possible. I will not be visiting as much if this thing persists.

  Looks like a phishing tool planted on BP's server. Hope the Jim and crew do something soon.

  Jim, may we request you to please have it removed at the earliest if this is a phishing scam.

Even otherwise, if this is intentionally done by BP to attract new members who come to BetterPhoto site, please tweak the program so that it does not pop up on the screens of people who are already a member of BP.

Thanks in advance for your time, Jim.

Usman.

  Usman, you may be right on your second point. After my comment I decided to check out the popup. It is a data collection and "management" tool that is probably associated with Jim's new business venture. I agree that it would be better not having it where it is and that it does detract from the BP website. Oop's, John said it - It's gone!

  Thank goodness it is gone and thanks to those who posted comments reinforcing the fact that I was not hacked. Again, thank you to whomever is responsible for getting this annoyance removed..
