Traveler Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Well , not sure if were hacked , but for sure a boot decide to take over this site, @Matt not sure if its set here or not but most of message boards can set a minimal time between messages and open new users to avoid this spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStarian Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I have been watching this since the first posting. (I do not sleep very well...) It appears as if it was real people hacking and not bots: 1. The entries were not all at once. 2. There were times where the user’s profile said “creating a discussion in XYZ” areas OR reading one of their created items. 3. They followed their created items. 4. The poster appeared to be blocked after making so many subsequent entries (because they stopped and a new account appeared). I am not sure what use these observations can provide. I just found it interesting. xxgatorzxx, Traveler, The Cruise Junkie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStarian Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 It is also stinks that it took me 3 months to come up with enough content to reach Gold status on this site.

I agree it seems has real person , but I do not think we can call it hacking , as he did not done anything that a regular user can not do. its not he published stories on the main page or something like that.

Matt Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Sorry, it was a spam attack. Bots or real people, it tends to happen now and again. Please report a thread if it does occur so myself and the mods get an alert. SuperStarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were just a whole lot of new postings created with a phone number to call to fix your computer problems. William Wallace (Braveheart) came back from the dead to start posting lots of messages here, but his posts have been removed and he has returned to his grave.
