Hello. And Bye.

<< < (3/6) > >>

SirPeale:
My forums have also seen a metric ton of  Spam users in the last week.  :(  Not like my forums get a lot of traffic (read: near zero) but I can do without the crap.

Namco:
I ran the forum and website of an online racing league and I got so many spam users that I ended up just banning anything with .ru or .dk as a domain, or anything from a free email service. I also turned on admin approval for all new accounts. It's the only way to keep the spammers out. Even after turning captchas on, they keep coming in.

Teebor:
I don't know if it is relevant but the last couple of weeks has seen a big rise in .ru hosted sites posing as banks, ebay, paypal, etc

Just in case something does get posted

patrickl:
I run several webservers too and indeed I've been having a lot of spam attacks lately. One idiot made it that bad that he was posting messages to every thread ever posted and thus actually dragging down the server. Almost like a DOS attack.

That was through an anonymous IP address though.

Hi,

My forums had a tentive of hacking last month too.

Hackers target SMF Forums 1.1.4 that are in fact very easy to hack.

In my case the IP of the Hacker was from  Arabian Emirate.

Fortunaly i was online when he tried to hack. He managed to promote his account to administrator and started to change the Forum's theme.

Since, i have modified my forum code to limit risk and check all member IP.
