Orcala Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I got a private message notification from a person called "mignulikz" today. It says please help but the link is to a virus/adult website I believe so don't click on it! (especially at work =P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huato Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I received one too - the .ru in the link is Russia, so I knew it was bad before I even clicked it. Firefox, Ad block, and No Script FTW. Oh, and hi everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalea Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I got one too. My guess is that everyone registered on the site received this email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perthes Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yes.. for the love of all that is sacred.. do not click it.. unless you wanna spend a few hours cleaning your computer. Even if nothing happens to your computer right away... something will.. sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyssa Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Oddly enough, I got the same type of PM, but no link. Either that or I totally missed it. And as Huato mentioned, make sure you keep the good ol' Holy Trinity of browsing toys (Firefox, AdBlock & NoScript) up-to-date so you can avoid being tricked by this crap!

I have firefox and AdBlock plus and I didn't get the link either. I should start using NoScript again, but I've found it to be a PITA and my lazy gene took over.

Eigun Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I didn't look at it but then you said it was russian porn so I clicked on it, and now my life is both better and worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perthes Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just got another one.. "Funny picture.." one... with the link being linked to another .RU site.. Not very original these people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyssa Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just got another one.. "Funny picture.." one... with the link being linked to another .RU site..Not very original these people Got one also. Seems like it's happening on a certain basis. Isn't there a way to make board sign-ups by referral-only or something so we can avoid this kind of thing?

I don't think so, but I think sign-ups can be disabled for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they are new people or just hacked people...if one person gets hacked their account could be used to send out the messages.
