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.

I had my son make FR my home page. It’s never off unless I mess up something. It’s been my go to page since 1998.

In my opinion some very old accounts are still being used. They simply don't make it as obvious. I wish there was a way to verify people better. I suggest a secret word on top of the password.
thank you for cleaning this up.

Thank you Jim!
Cancel Culture has tried to re-imagine Free Republic.
They failed.
If you have their addrss, we can head over and ask them a few questions.

For once I’m glad I got too busy at work to be on FR.
Missed all the drama.

No Captcha. I hate those things. Maybe a captcha like the "find images with bikes" except geared to appeal to the Freeper ethos.

I’ll hit 20 years in December and don’t remember ever logging off. Sign in only when I get a new laptop.
I’ve probably read or seen 80-85% of all posts.
It’s an obsession
