vBulletin exploit or easy password?
|
|
Time for vBulletin upgrade? Surely it can't be twice the same account has become compromised due to an easy password...

Well.. if it ain't a ACT IP it's unlikely to be him then.  |

Hehe, well the smart guys at Internode have it setup so it can't be tracerouted past some routers in Sydney, and there is no reverse DNS |

It is clearly not MM. The perp uses proxies in the US to send the messages rather than a local IP. Most have been blocked already. It is a VB weakness that we are working on resolving.
Until we block it though, I expect afor mentioned Idiot/imbisile will keep doing it? |

Well at least it's funnier than the pm I received last week from whoever it is masquerading as Michael. Hope it can be sorted as I can only imagine how Michael feels about it

No, it's not....its a bloody laugh!
Great source of comedy really 
Seriously though, it has to stop.
Can't his account just be banned or something? |

You can't ban his account for no reason, unless you think it's really him and he's just been on the turps all afternoon?
It's probably a disgruntled former customer scoring some points. The less we react, the better.

There must be a way to suspend the account until the problem is fixed... |

Hey,
Isn't it a bit strange how it always seems to happen to him.
Or does it happen to other people and i have never known about it?
Anywho it seems like its getting worse, Firstly it was just 'good offers' now people seem to be getting personal ones... my thoughts its choppy :P (haha only joking). |
