Downgraded...or not?

I am not sure what happened but on my phone I got a message that led me to dev.eccie.net that stated my account had been "downgraded" due to "inactivity"

When I log onto my laptop or the regular eccie.net everything is fine and normal.

Both looked official and exactly the same except on the one my account had been downgraded.

I post regularly (at least once a week) I log on at least once a day and I have plenty of reviews to vouch for my activity. Any advise or thoughts would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance

I was notified a couple of days ago by another provider experiencing the same situation. I will be looking into these cases this afternoon for an explanation.

I believe someone on the ECCIE Dev Team checked the wrong box and some how made the developmental site visible to the public.

The DEV web prefix is normally hidden from public view and is used for testing new things and such.

OR for all the tinfoilers out there... its a clone site sit up to steal your accounts.

Seriously though - if you are worried about it... now would be a good time to update/change your password.
