Nothing hacked. Just a spammer managed to get through the checks.

User banned and messages deleted.

Thought id add this here anyway seen as its the same issue, Got a message from a member, in the message a link was provided leading me to a site that was marked an attack site by the 3 Anti-Virus programs I use at different intervals.

Username was Jessie, Now im not saying they were a spammer but them sending me links to malicious sites is a bit of a joke.

Just lettin ya know even if they seem legit dont follow any links.

Default also got a message - 02-01-2010, 01:37 PM

I also got a message from jessie. I thought it was strange as it was sent as a private message at 4.50am. Didnt think any more of it but didnt respond or follow any links etc. hopefully nothing dodgy but strange...

Trying to sort this out, but they are crafty buggers and seem to be able to avert the checks I put in place.

Sorry, I am working on it.
