Re: Spam PM

I got some IMs that I sent some out....

And of course it wasn't me actually sending these out. So my apologizes in advance.

Hope this is the end of it!

Hopefully someone shut them down. I'd like to hear what level of information they were able to access.

Thanks to the warning from others, the PM I got from "general" was deleted before being opened.

Re: Spam PM

I just got one from nick1230 titled "Illegal Youtube Portal". As with the other cases, extremely inappropriate...

Mike
The one I got was titled "Tube Trick", which sounded legitimate enough since I had recently posted a picture of last year's game pieces being sold as "Pool Tubes". As others have said, the content was inappropriate.

Re: Spam PM

"Better version of Youtube," or something... deleted it as I would just from the title, but I also had this thread for warning.

vtheiss was the alleged sender to add to the list.

Re: Spam PM

I just got one of the spam PMs from the user qwqw, it sounds like it was the same message everyone else got but under a different title ("Have you ever seen this website?"). I'm glad to see this problem is being taken care of. (:

Re: Spam PM

Yea, many of the people on the list are well respected people. I got a PM from AKIBSAYYED. Just curious to see what crud it sent me to, I opened the link. It brought me to a website that was inappropriate, but also tried to install something on my Mac, so a warning to others, don't open the link, it may be a virus, I quickly stopped it.

For the admin though, please please look through this carefully. whytheheckme is someone that I quickly recognized on the list, and a person who I know would not do anything like this. This is definitely a hacker's job.

Re: Spam PM

Ah, thanks for the warning! I'm glad that my PM's subject line was obvious of its contents, I deleted it immediately. It was received from "brasil", but I'm sure that it wasn't him.

I did check a list of my sent PMs, and it appears that nobody has accessed my account to spread messages like this. Perhaps other users should check, just to be safe?

Re: Spam PM

This information is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

The PMs are sent by a bot; a computer program designed to use the vBulletin system's private messaging functions to send spam. They index the member list and automagically generate PMs to each user.

The site was not hacked. What happened, while annoying and inappropriate, used a simple, straightforward method for sending spam.

Do not open PMs that are at all suspicious and, particularly, do not follow any links contained within them. I'm sure word's reached Brandon by now. If trouble starts up again, we can handle things on a user by user basis and temporarily suspend accounts as necessary.

Thanks for generating a list of the accounts that were involved.
