Forum Getting Hammered

Good thing our security measures are holding up. I see that on average at any time there are about 15 scripts trying to register spam accounts here.

Our counter-measures are holding and so far the bad guys aren't getting through. Eventually they will and then I will just deploy something else to stop them. πŸ™‚

Uses the member area to link to a Russian site...

Yes, he has...

So it's legitimate spam this way as long as he isn't posting it on the forum ?

Yeah, our version of the forum is a bit out-of-date. I haven't updated it because I am considering switching to a different forum package.

More on this soon.
