Hopefully doesn't cause more spam. cheers While probable and unfortunate, the reality is that all of our email addresses are readily available to any hacker via any number of easily obtainable databases. I personally receive around 200 spam emails daily. Kev LSP_K2, ajf and RLWP 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I just requested and received a password reset email. I changed my password via the link. My password is unique to this site so that if the hacker is able to view the password reset information, he/she will only be able to get here. I get spam emails in quantity too. My email address has been on the dark web (as told to me by Experian) for years now. I just check the spam folder every day for valid emails then delete the entire folder. I don't get hundreds daily but I do get about 50-60. Thanks for the heads-up on the hack. Edited September 21, 2021 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Did this Russian hacker try and build a Trumpeter 1/32 Mig 17 per chance? Hence he is taking revenge on modeling forums. chezzie, coogrfan, thierry laurent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward H. Valholm Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I guess you have already been in contact with the forum host provider? And if so, what could they tell you? Was the hack due to a fault in the coding that gave the "hacker" access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
