Tonight's account hijacker/spambot: We think we know how he did it.
Posted on 08/27/2021 10:19:51 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
We think we know how he did it, but we're not going to explain it yet. Don't want to give others ideas.
Meanwhile, we've temporarily disabled the login program while John makes some changes tonight to try to block bots. Hopefully, he'll have the programming complete tonight.
Sorry about the mess, but looks like the mods have most of it deleted.

"A double secret password!" will not work on those that have already taken the accounts. Though we should look at this for the long run.
The secret word should only work only when changing passwords or credit card information. The password would be lower level security.

Ever think of updating this old forum?
I have a vaping forum that gets well over
10,000,000 hits a month. Use Xenforo. And yes you can easily import this entire site
Seriously I been staring at this for over 20 years.
Yes I know it’s scary.. it’s hard.. you won’t regret it.

I’ve always wondered if he actually has anything substantive to say, about anything.
I suspect there’s something IN that big head; but I’ve seen no proof...
