I got a suspect PM from a user called "brickerza" the other week. was clearly a dodgy automated msg with a link that i never followed (but was hosted in russia......)

I'd be thinking someone has found a hole in this version of IP.Board...

I got that too, it was a virus but I got rid of it, I got another one thismorning from a random user. I have thousands of hours of work I cant lose on my computer. How can we find out who is sending them?

Its happened to other forums also.....

If you dont know the user and it asks you to click on a link, delete it immediately

An update has been done to try and stop this. Basically:

- If you're just a regular member then you can only send one PM every 5 mins.

- SAU VIC, WA, QLD and NSW club members, mods, admins, traders and contributors can send unlimited PM's

- if your postcount is below 10, then you can no longer PM.

Its a good start! Well done Admin/Mods

Good controls there....

The PM was from someone you have never spoken to before.

The PM contained nothing but a link.

A link to a RUSSIAN site.

............ YOU CLICKED THAT LINK?!?!

In any case, as PurpleR32 said, we have taken measures to reduce such cases of spam and virulent link prorogation. Unfortunately common sense is something we can't help with

Locking this up - refer to the feedback section.

But honestly - if you get a PM from someone

- You dont know

- With no posts

- Signed up in the last day or so

- Sends you some rubbish words and a link...

Use ya brain and dont click on.
