Dear DUers, are any of you members of Avaaz?

I have supported them in the past with monetary donation, however, earlier today I received a message that they are being hacked and looking for donations to pay lawyers! Any idea if this is real?

as it seems like they are doing good work. But this time, am a bit nervy about donating!
