Between December 21, 22 and 24th, Hamshack.ca experienced a temporary email notification issue that caused some system-generated emails to be sent in error.

The issue was identified and resolved, and no user data, listings, or accounts were compromised. This was a system automation problem — not a security breach.

What happened

• A system email notification process behaved unexpectedly during routine maintenance and testing.

• This resulted in a number of unintended outgoing emails.

What’s been done

• The affected email logic has been fully disabled and removed.

• All pending emails were cleared.

• System behavior has been verified and is operating normally.

Temporary change

As a precaution, the New Listing Notification email has been temporarily disabled while final validation is completed. This feature will be restored once testing is finalized.

What users need to do

• No action is required.

• Listings, messages, and site functionality are working as normal.

I appreciate your understanding and patience while I ensure Hamshack.ca continues to operate normally and I’m sorry if you received one of these emails.
