There has been a relatively huge number of guests today, and almost every one seems to be going through all the member profiles. It seems someone is trying to learn everything they can about the members here. I'd suspect some sort of data mining, but it's usually bots that do that. I'm not saying it's something nefarious, but it definitely strikes me as strange. In any case, if you have anything in your member profile you don't want to be common knowledge to the rest of the world, you might consider going into your Privacy settings and making some of your stuff only viewable to members. I admit it's quite possible I'm being paranoid. But after many years in IT, some of them specifically guarding against intrusion attempts, I prefer to err on the side of caution.
