And the spam begins.. Just started to get new types of spam that seem to be targeted at people who are into electronics.. Seems they might have hacked us to harvest all the emails here
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows your whole leg off.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who do not understand it.

I think that's just a coincidence... this happened before you registered and any possible account compromising may have occurred.

My Gmail was accessed from the Netherlands and tried to mass spam all of my contacts....lucidObscurity wrote:And the spam begins.. Just started to get new types of spam that seem to be targeted at people who are into electronics.. Seems they might have hacked us to harvest all the emails here

Hello guys. It's Aguiluz here. Remember me?
Anyways, yes, I am receiving a large volume of spam recently. I think my email has been harvested.

While I was away I created that account because apparently my old one didn't exist. But when I returned home, I was still logged into the site. So I'm not too sure what happened there, appears my email isn't in the users database, except while I stay logged in everything will be fine.SpongeBuell wrote:I think that's just a coincidence... this happened before you registered and any possible account compromising may have occurred.
Appears I was right about the spam too

Re: IMPORTANT - Forums compromised, please change your password
well at least this finally gives me the motivation to change my password to something different on all sites... (new passwords will have the same base of random digits but have a few additional characters calculated from the base address of the web page inserted at a certain point in the password...)

Hey, guys? Looks like something's up again, I tried logging in here and on MBB, (I was already logged in on MR) and it gave me a 'maximum login attempts exceeded' deal. Anybody else get it recently?
Re: IMPORTANT - Forums compromised, please change your password
Same thing happened to me and sometimes does it on phpbb boards in my experiences, so does duplication of posts. Sounds weird but it has happened to me quite a bit recently, I wouldn't be too worried about it.Snipeye wrote:Hey, guys?
