Mallette Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 We are under the most insidious attack by spammers I've ever seen. Hidden links in titles and in usernames. PLEASE report any you see from newbies. I know this has been going on a while as I've been otherwise occupied until today, but there are at least 60 in the approval cue right now so some may have gotten through. I have PM'd Chad and alerted the other mods. Please keep an eye out! I have no idea what these do but you can be sure it is NOT good.

Schu Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yikes... be vigilant. I never click outside links. The worst are the link hidden in photographs and vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2020 Probably approved 10 new first post this morning. I read each one first before approving, nothing looked out of place, typical audio questions with no links. You must have taken care of the spam post since I was on this morning because I missed them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know how this works, but they were circular in that they pointed back into the Forums. However, no question they were up to no good which is why I called up the militia.

CECAA850 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Fight the good fight. I'll stand along the sidelines and give you the occasional golf clap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, turned it over to General Chad as he's better equipped to lead the charge than any of us. Call me ASAP. Have something entirely different for you...

You must have taken care of the spam post since I was on this morning because I missed them. Took me one. But, of course, I have 15 years here and a lot of other online experience as well. I don't even run a virus checker as they slow down the machine too much. I get an infection now and again but knock it right out with Malwarebytes.

LarryC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Dave, I thought you were going to move to Maryland. Yes, No? What happened if so? Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
