Woke to over 600 emails from Creative Pro Network all spam looking. Am I the only one? I got on here expecting to see a post about it :-) Sure odd. Hope it was a fluke. If anyone has any insight? Kept a screenshot of a few of them (didn’t open any) but don’t see. how to add an image here.
thanks!

Yep. Over 100 of them. Thankful for mass delete. :-/

Hopefully, an admin woke up to them as well and took care of it. I’m guessing that’s why it finally stopped.

Ditto! I got over 600 strange emails over a 3-hour period this morning. DELETE!

[Amanda Welch]

Yep, I woke up to 638 unread emails this morning. Once I deleted all the Creative Pro ones, I was back to about 26. I also can’t add a screen snap, but 99.9% of the message content was question marks. Received 636 from “rthrt” and 2 from “dgf”.

Yeppa. Me too. They were coming in, from what I could tell, 4 times a minute. I had 600+ too. I’m sure they’ll figure out what happen and send us each $1M for our troubles (LOL). They stopped, so someone figured something out!

[David Garcia]

Yes. Because of it, I suspended my email opt in.

[Anne-Marie Concepcion]

Hmmm me too. I think the server is being bombarded. The staff is on the case.

Hi folks-

Yes, CreativePro was attacked last night by a bot that posted hundreds of new spam topics to this forum. If you were subscribed to emails about new topics, you got bombarded with this junk. We’re very sorry about that. We’ve cleaned up the spam topics and have taken several steps to prevent the same thing from happening again.

Should be someone on the other side of the earth to guard the forum in the night

[David Blatner]

Well, that’s an interesting idea!
