Dear Hasan

 

I was analyzing your site and there is a big security gap ,I was able to

log in to administration area of your site and see all your sales and

orders.

Please know that you have to apply more security on your site to prevent

hackers from playing with your website.

Hi Hasan, I'm a bit confused. Do you own gulfgate? If you do it's a nice site and the admin password box (assumably .htaccess) seems to be functioning okay.

 

If the e-mail came from someone at gulfgate, maybe they're doing you a favour. Write to them for more info.

 

Alternatively, if you own gulfgate, who sent the e-mail? did you write back to see if the return address is alive? If not it's probably a hoax because someone who takes time out to write such a warning should identify themselves.

 

Maybe you could tell use where the e-mail came from rather than tell us its contents.

 

Spam is an increasing problem. I've just opened a new e-mail account and in 5 days I received 2,900 spam e-mails before the spambot got on top of it. I'm now down to 30-50 a day.
