DavidV Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) It looks someone was able to send spam via private messages to 2647 the users of the site. The software is supposed to prevent this, but they were able to get around this somehow. I deleted the actual messages, so you may get a notification about a message that was deleted. I am taking some steps to try to prevent this from happening again. Edited April 7, 2009 by GreedyCapitalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Mac Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 He got me and it wasn't deleted (yet); however, when I saw he was from the Group: Banned, I didn't even click on his link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 This morning, I got spam from the same user from other forums, suggesting that he's uncovered a vulnerability in the forum software and is spamming the whole Internet.
