Board Hacked? PM from "Jessie"?

[Candew]

Did anyone else get a private message from a "Jessie"?

"I am new here. How's it going?"

Has this board been hacked?

I have not been on the board in months and all of a sudden I get a private message notification sent to my email.

I have reset my password, just in case.

This is just spam from a spam-account.

[color="Blue"]Indeed. The forum has not been hacked, but a user decided to send a large quantity of unwanted PMs to the rest of us.

Steps have been taken to make sure that it doesn't happen again; if it does, please let me know about it, so that it can be handled appropriately.[/color]

I got no PM. Not even spammers like me. leure: leure:

[PhilThib]

Neither did I

[Chris Stavros]

It was the only PM I ever got here.

Want some of the 265 I've got stored and that I've just started cleaning up/organizing? leure:

(And that number doesn't even remotely compared to Pocus' )

[Chris Stavros]

No I don't want them.

Hey! i have 174 PM stored!
I´m pretty proud of being just 91 behind "Mighty Rafiki"!
Still, Jessie PM is not one of them...
Why don't you like me, Jessie? leure:

FYI - Just received one from "Jesse" today at 11:19am.

I've also informed Rafiki via PM.

Has anyone checked the members list recently - the first 5-10 "members" ?

[RangerBooBoo]

I just got one too!

[Rafiki]

I went for the soft approach at first, but it didn't work. Jessie has been fully banned and I have also deleted all PMs sent by him/her, since they are nothing but spam anyway.

I've also informed Rafiki via PM.

Thanks for that; also, welcome to the forums

It is generally appreciated that people bring problems to our attention. Though our powers and abilities aren't limitless (well, mine aren't; can't speak for Pocus & PT & company ), there is still a fair amount we can do to deal with trouble, but we need to know about it first

Hadn't noticed it before, but it is something that we need to do something about, yeah

DELETE THEM RAFIKI! No one there!
