WARNING!!! : Possibly Dangerous Private Message.
DANGER, DANGER - WILL ROBINSON!
Somehow this person hacked their way in to the board - XladyROOT. Do not follow the link provided and delete the private message. The website is a "known attack site". Jeff |
just deleted that one,didnt recognize the name as an administrator
|
I wasn't paying attention and opened the message but there was nothing in the dialog box so I deleted it. Am I still in the clear or do I have something to worry about.
|
I think when I deleted the user - the message gets blanked out for those who hadn't read it yet. Just click on the checkbox and select delete.

Jeff:
From a spam sent to my e-mail address: Dear tprnottp, You have received a new private message at GasGas Riders Club Forum from XLadyROOT, entitled "Important message from the forum administration". This is the message that was sent: *************** Dear, Metalefty;tprnottp;iancp5;Rick;KENT D! A virus alert was noticed on your computer. We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: *** DANGEROUS LINK DELETED BY MODERATOR **** ---------------------------------------------------- Sincerely, Forum Administration www.gasgasrider.org. *************** To read the original version, respond to this message, or delete the message, you must log in here: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/private.php All the best, GasGas Riders Club Forum This virus carrying 'ho tried to penetrate my firewall, however, Trend's Micro PC Pro slapped her down like a two-dollar 'ho on fifty cent night. In fact, when I logged on to GasGasRider.org, I received a pop-up to contact XladyRoot. I'm reporting the link to Trend Micro. Happy Trails, TP |
Hey TP,
I deleted the nasty link from your post - kinda like leaving a gun laying around.... If someone clicked on it and they didn't have good security - they could really be in for a world of hurt. jeff |
Hey webmaster,
Did everyone get spammed or was it something malicious and directed to specific individuals or members here? Ron |
It was indiscriminate - they tried to send it to everyone. But there is a limit of sending one private message per minute - to try to prevent such things. I noticed it after 120 or so users were sent messages, out of 1900+ active members.
