Question MM is this an April 1st or what?

I have received the following email from HISAT:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WARNING CONAX will kill your Magic Module NOW
This is to warn dealers that Conax stations have found a way to knock out the Magic Module
we advice all dealers to advise clients not to use their modules with Pentacrypt 1.10 or later
THIS IS A NEW THING - PLEASE DON'T TRY AND PROVE I'M WRONG
Revert the modules to Pentacrypt 1.09 and all seems to be OK - More news as we get it
Conax Modules used with a PC interface are unaffected by this
TONY HISCOX - HISAT
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Given that I have been running 1.11
(so-called official - but how would I know if that is true?)
for several days, found it good, fixed all the need for resets etc,
is Tony smoking something or is this a spoof??
Can anyone shed any light on this???
ta, c-cubed

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Unfortunately he would appear to have got it wrong, that was the original theory, but later it was decided that it was the 1.10 version that had a time bomb, the 1.11 is OK, it is as far as anyone can see, nothing to do with Conax, it was also happening on Nagravision and others.
