eMail Spam fm a MG user

??

Someone spammed me through my MG email contact page, if this isn't a counterfeit. It asks me to go visit their website, not well written. Anybody else getting these?

Ya, same here, got that POS. :crap I might have to change my account as I'm sure there is a list being sold ATM.

 

I hope you guys get to the bottom of this
Kind of worrying though

If there is anything that I can do to help, more than happy to oblige.

Huh, so that came from here? I just deleted it without looking at anything other than the subject line, didn't even think to look where it came from.

 

This makes me sad. I liked the arcade, but I understand. Some folks are going to go into withdrawal I'm sure, but there are lots of other sites we can announce on the interesting websites forum.

I'm going to miss them though. Moon Base, Lunar Lander, Space Invaders, Asteriods....

Come to think of it, I'm going to be one of those people, even though I didn't spend much time there.

MA, you might add an announcement to the Arcade Sticky to let people know what's going on.

 

If you have arcade flash game withdraw go to kongregate they have like over 3000 games,i am there everyday and you can chat at the same time......

Just hope my e-mail account do not become a spamfest...........

 

I guess it's that whole all good things must come to an end business.

Even though i didn;t get in there that often, I'll miss it.

Now I guess I have to go play Luau Bingo over on pogo again

LOL...

Sorry to hear about this....

I haven't been on for a while,what has happened? is MG finishing completly or just the arcade and why? Sakari

 

I have reported this to MrZeroPage. Are you sure this is from the arcade, and not an exploit anywhere else on your site? The reason I ask, is because no exploits have been reported, and it does indeed have regular updates.

 

Major Attitude, thanks for zapping the problem. Haven't rec'd any more spammails from whoever it was and they don't seem to have spread our addresses around knockonwood. Good deal! :thumbup:

 

Sorry Major, but this is definitely on your side. Even contacted MrZeropage:

I presume you have other hacks installed that need dealing with.

 

I completely missed where you said it was from the arcade...don't know if it makes any difference or not, but I have never, not even once, gone to the arcade here and I still got the spam mail.

 

It was an exploit of the arcade, not an exploit of user accounts.

Nobody was harvesting email addresses, as I understand it. They used the forum's email verification system to send the spam.

Jason, I'll forward your concern to MA, but I think they know their stuff enough to figure out where the exploit was, as this is not the first time the Arcade has caused problems. As MA said, they have proof. Maybe you should direct this person to talk to MA instead of going through you as a proxy, and not checking out the details. That would be the responsible thing for him to do.

 

Hello MA,

It now seems you are correct. Phillip managed to find the exploit and a fix has been forwarded to MrZeropage.

Will keep you updated.

@ Adrynalyne: Unfortunately, I don't speak to MrZeropage -- I'm just a coder over at vbulletin.org and other various places. Once again, sorry for the confusion.

 

I'm aware of who Phillip is

I also develop add-ons for vBulletin, I have done for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to check the coding in the arcade, nor should I. I totally agree with you, MrZeropage does owe Phillip a lot of credit - and I on behalf of the vb.org community thank him.

 

I also thank you MA for brining this into the open.

I passed it on to all arcade owners.
