coloradoanonline.com   Community   Fort Collins   NOTICE: Forum spam attack « previous next » Pages: [1] Author Topic: NOTICE: Forum spam attack  (Read 16373 times) coloradoan Administrator Newbie Posts: 5 NOTICE: Forum spam attack « on: July 31, 2006, 09:24:15 AM » To members of coloradoan.com forum community: On July 30, 2006 an automated spam system attacked the Coloradoan Forum and sent an inappropriate email to those registered at the forum with the subject heading "New Personal Message: IMPORTANT NEWS and INFORMATION!!!" We sincerely apologize for this offensive post and are taking immediate steps to prevent this from happening again. This spam attack is known as the "Harrison Ford Spammer" and has been making the rounds at other forum sites during the past month. What the spammer did was send messages using the forum’s private messaging system. This caused the forum software to send users a notification email via the ColoradoanOnline support email address. We want to assure you that these notification emails were sent without revealing your private email address to this spammer. Your email addresses have NOT been compromised. To prevent recurrence, we have changed everyone's preference in the forum to not allow personal messaging. Also, in the next several days we will be implementing a new forums board on a more secure server. Stay tuned for more information on the changes. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
