pingBox 0.1 is launched

FYI... Pingsta recently launched pingBox 0.1 to facilitate intra-Pingsta communication.


What is the "Ping Me" feature?
The Ping Me feature is an intra-pingsta communication tool that allows you to "Ping" other Pingsta members and send them short messages.

How does it work?
Click on the Ping Me button from the people page, enter your message in the displayed form and send. Your message will be sent to the user's Pingsta pingBox and a copy will also be forwarded to their regular email inbox.

How do I track my Pings?
All your sent and received pings are stored in your pingBox.

For more information on pingBox and other Pingsta features, go to http://pingsta.com/help.

Happy pinging!

Pingsta Mailserver Malicious Attack - Update

Our investigation has revealed that the cause of yesterday's mailblast incident was a malicious attack on our mailserver sourced (or spoofed) from 202.71.201.178 which resolves to en201178.uac63.hknet.com. Our engineers are currently taking all necessary steps to ensure that this never happens again.

Once again, we apologize profusely to all those that were impacted by this incident and we are most grateful for the relentless support we've received from our members and ecosystem.

We've learnt a few lessons from this incident that will no doubt make us stronger and improve the Pingsta experience for all.

Sincerely,
Peter and the Pingsta team.

PS. What a way to start the new year! :-)
