Ok thanks for that Victor,
I was concerned because at the time I posted, I hadn't seen any mention
elsewhere and i didn't want to propagate a hoax, but it seemed less
harmful to pass it on just in case.
While I believe penetration testing is important, I think that IF that
was the intent, Sputn1k could have made it known differently.

Believe that if you like.
Thanks for the notification Gemma.
