I just recieved a hacker alert email from my auction? Should I be worried??? Here is what it says.

(1) Form has been hacked by IP: 72.30.128.11
User: N/A

Don't worry - it's just the Yahoo-Spider (see: http://www.spidertrack.org/index.php)
But I don't know what the spider tries to add to the URL.

Thanks for the info. I guess I should unblock this from my firewall than :-)

When viewing the code for the auction I noticed there are two numbers to report when an attack is made?

(1) and (2). What do they each refer to?

Thanks, Tom
