Huckleberry Pie Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) It seems as though we're a target of a spamming spree by some rather unscrupulous scoundrels... Sorry, but I'm not into bossing at the admins here, but the posts they make concerned me. The following bots were found spamming here: ZeredisemipZewemossyincimeinfongeHeraSydayHirlisowlemervChafttheafeShoorerixcyncgradyOqEnuddehannichMantorkasCarkanquiniJzntscool (suspected) Some of them are either porno bots or criminals hawking fake medications or conducting credit card fraud. I strongly advise that you DO NOT click the links they provide, as they may steal sensitive information or may infect your computer. Some of them are already banned by admins, but there are still that aren't, and there seems to be newly spawned ones... What do you guys think? P.S.: Feel free to lock this if you feel that this is unnecessary... Edited October 3, 2008 by Huckleberry Pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah, there's been a recent breakout. An IPB patch has been released and installed on the server, but a few are still slipping throught the net. Please make use of the report feaure to let us know of any still posting.... Thanks. Oh and we seriously advise you don't click ANY links these bots are posting, just report, and then leave it, we'll make sure they're dealt with and the topics deleted.

I also made some security measures in my forum, too, just in case these fools decide to flood my board with utter nonsense. And can you edit out the sigs in some of the porn spammers, too?

Sherman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm not here for long, but also, please don't post in the topics. It's only going to make more people post and want to look when it's rather obvious they are spam bots. If no one gets it before I'm back, I'll edit out the sigs.

I guess I'll just report them rather than rant at the topics... And thanks for keeping those fools out of the boards, they deserve to be banned, anyway...
