Neither the person who contacted you was a real user of that instance, nor their "concern" was legitimate.
Congrats. You got successfully manipulated. And opened yourself up for further future manipulations.
Issue gone.
Uploading avatars/banners is broken at this moment. Didn't try posting images.

"looks like a bunch of instances are under attack at the moment"

The instance in question was practically dead before this stupid thread gave it attention.
I'll bet you money that concerned user didn't exist 3 day ago.
Instance admins should learn how to be smarter, and not give manipulators small wins, alas, they will come back for bigger ones.
