Cellar.org hacked or compromised in some way?

Not only could your email account have been hacked and your email address book compromised, any dwellar with whom you've had email correspondence could've had their email account hacked and their address book (with you and other Cellar contacts) compromised.

If it's The Cellar that was compromised, there would be/will be not only those who have exchanged emails getting those emails; also, dwellars who haven't done email exchanges with other dwellars would get them.

That; or, it's Zengum and the rascal has gone back to work in Japan.

However, it is trivial to spoof the sending name and sending domain on a piece of email. If you have not suffered any ill consequences from clicking on the link, you're probably ok.

Standard procedure in cases like this would indicate that you should change your email password immediately, at a minimum. You were prudent to run the malware scan. Depending on how seriously you take this stuff.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Virus and malware scans reveal nothing nasty so that may well point to a Dwellar having had his/her address book accessed.
