Weird spam with forge related addresses?
Callan S.:
This is odd - I'm getting hundreds of spam e-mails. But the 'To' field has a few names I'm familiar with. I wont say the full e-mail addies, but stuff like sorcerer, lumpley, dindenver, moreno, greyorm, etc at the start and even my own e-mail. This looks like a forge list of e-mails? When the forge was hack crashed awhile back, could someone have simply copied all the e-mail addies as well?
I'm not tech savvy, so I don't know why if they are 'to' these other addresses, they are going to me.
Strange.

I did suddenly start getting a massive amount of spam e-mails myself just this morning, but I didn't recognize any of the addresses.

I registered here many years ago with an email address unique to this site, and am now starting to get spam to that unique email address. It looks like the forum database has been compromised. This has been happening quite a lot with various forums over the last year. I'd recommend forum admins to update the forum software to the latest version, use stronger passwords for admin access, and ideally to find out exactly how this happened.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm on it.
