Just saw this note posted on GC2FTHY signs of the zodiac.

This is what they posted under their smiley that they found it. Does this mean they took it? Their name is ForestDefenders. Interesting either way.

There are some bots that have been logging finds on caches, many of which have links to malware sites or other sites. There are currently two threads here discussing this, read these to learn more. Most likely the caches are unharmed but there have been reports.

I'm not sure as the bot logs are actually connected to the blog site they link to.

Alert! Geocaching Dot Com and User AutoJoey (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/forum/showthread.php?p=70275)

Be Aware - Bots are here on Maine Cache Listings (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4889)

I've disabled the link in your post to be safe as well as not to promote the site.

Not at all. Just look at all the commotion they have stirred up with a few key strokes. Just another loser looking for attention.

Logged 3 of mine. I deleted the logs. I don't believe any were harmed as the user is a banned member from Washington.
