Hey guys,
You've likely recieved a PM from angelikzusa titled "Just for Fun" I know this because I recieved it too, this is likely a malware attempt, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!! Ive sent a PM to Alex, so it will hopefully soon blow over. I read this on the internet: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...07204137AALllP7 So theyve attempted it with other sites. |

Another malicious message from a banned user, this time; nuzgirba. What is going on? I didn't publish my email address so it seems that someone has hacked the server. Admin needs to look at improving security here I think.

I've merged your thread with this one as it's essentially about the same thing. As an update to all, Rane had a good idea to prevent this from happening in the future. We'll take some time to look at it to see if it's done what we want it to do. Should anyone receive another such spam pm after today, please let us know and we'll get back to the drawing board.  -------------------- All that is needed for evil to triumph, is that good men stand idle.

I received 2 messages, one on apr 20 and one yesterday. But isn't disabling registration a bit extreme for 2 spammers (probably one spammer under 2 names) in more than a year ? Who really clicked on the link sent by a total stranger without finding this message suspicious ? message title "important" body "click the link". The average user receive about 750 similar emails each day. Not speaking of the spam we receive on our cellphones. We all know this problem. Don't you think just ignore them, never answer and delete the message as soon as reported is more efficient than any drastic and annoying measure ? |
