Hello all,
Another forum that I am a member of got attacked this morning.
The attacker basically went through the list of members and tried to log on as each individual member. This was easy for him as a fair few members were using their username as their password.
He then sent spam as private messages to all other members.
So if your username and your password are the same I would advise that you change your password before some hacker makes you very unpopular.
Jim....
