in the ebay for sale thread? I'm not clicking on any of that until someone says it's safe!

Cynthia... I just saw those posts. They all came from the same two addresses. I suspect some type of automated spam or phishing program. Maybe related to the cyber attack today that overwhelmed the routing system on domestic websites.

I'm not going anywhere near those listings either!

On my screen, they are only in the ebay, craigslist etc., postings. I'm steering clear of those!

Up to 4 and 1/2 pages now!

There was a massive attack on some DNS systems on the Internet today. I'd go ahead and blame that if I were you.

Up to six pages now. Can the moderators lock out the two offending members? I don't recognize either of the screen names.

And then I saw it, and now it's no longer funny...

Although that's Korean, so I guess it's a little funny that it's not Japanese...

Looks like spammers. It's all Korean spam postings. As soon as the head honcho's log in they'll pound 'em.

I would, but I don't have the power. :)

I am having the opposite problem from everyone else. I see the postings in English and then when I read them out loud they come out in Korean. LOL! Just Kidding.

On a serious note I'm curious how they got past the trial posting phase? Don't the first posts on a new account have to be approved by a moderator before they are actually posted on the forum specifically for this reason? You figure that would be caught before it gets to the thread unless the hackers actually breached the moderator controls. Hope it gets fixed, Korea already took over Guild Electric production and now they want the Forum too! LOL!:congratulatory:

In case you're wondering, SKA707.com (what all the Korean SPAM is barking about) is a Korean gambling site.

I'm happy it's not the whole site, I was wondering what I was going to do about it, but knowing it's not my PC makes me feel a lot better.
See what happens when Al mentions politics?? We get hacked!! :sad:
