Most annoying about this is the lowlife hacker now has our email addresses.

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.

PW changed. Good job getting this place back, Kevin!

Nice job, Kev. Already changed password.

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.

I don't look in often, but have changed my password anyway. I know what I would do with hackers.

Thank you, Kevin. Just got my e-mail from this yahoo. PW changed.

Did this Russian hacker try and build a Trumpeter 1/32 Mig 17 per chance? Hence he is taking revenge on modeling forums.

Hi Kev. Managed to change my password now. Thank you for saving the day once more (your super hero cape is already in the post!  ).

 

Many thanks

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?

Thanks Kev. Changed my password using a random, complex password from Keychain.

 

What a pathetic loser that spends his time hacking a scale modeling discussion forum.

 

And a baseball site, based on searching for "ARTHUR SERGEEVICH TRUSOV"

As someone said on another thread, it's quite likely it's not him doing the hacking, just some low-life hacker who has appropriated his details.

 Maybe it was his test to get into the KGB/GRU ?

But not as entertaining as the professor that did the final exams for the Red Sparrow candidates...
