So I was chillin' on facebook while procrastinating cleaning toilets, and I saw this post from a Minecraft Fan Page:
"Two users, gmodiscool7, and LegacyP7 came into our server claiming they were Planet Minecraft administrators and wanted Op status so they could "inspect our mysql mainframe and test if some plugins were working". This is an attempt by these two users at hacking servers through the use of Minecraft "Social Engineering"(which is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information).. If you see these two users you notify your server admin/owner right away. They are up to no good. -This has been a PSA from Segata_Sanshiro"
I doubt our admins would fall for this, but I figured I should post it on the forums anyways.
