Re: PHISHING ALERT
I was wondering if this would happen.
Anytime you switch website setups/databases/providers etc, these insects show up. Hopefully, things will get situated in the new world and that will disappear.

Re: PHISHING ALERT
Well someone seems to be on top of it. Thank you GHQ. Trolls is everywhere! I think they are why the forum for Skirmish Sangin was shut down. They just kept flooding it. Mind you if you do open anything from these types of posts you are asking for it.

Re: PHISHING ALERT
What amazes me is the number of views these posts get. I hope it is the mods verifying that they are not legitimate posts, otherwise, some of our fellow posters need better cyber-security awareness.
Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present.

Re: PHISHING ALERT
Yes we are being hit by spam-bots left and right.
Multiple new threads were created with the title: Привет вссем (Privet vsem is Russian for "Hello everyone". Should be: Привет всем in Cyrillic letters. This particular spam-bot can't even spell всем right!)
Three such threads have been deleted. Each thread contained links to several Russian websites. We will see if more pop-up. I strongly recommend that you NOT click on links in any such thread.
Been a long time since this forum actually needed active moderation.

"PHISHING ALERT"
If I don't get a day off work soon I will have to phone in sick and self isolate for ten days with a fishing rod!

Re: PHISHING ALERT
I assume the rod is to ensure those with you maintain social distance...?

"New search engine" is SPAM or PHISHING.
