A remotely triggered email harvesting program masquerading as an ebay link was placed on this forum a couple of days ago. It was never activated and has now been removed. I have also installed a scanning script to remove any unauthorized files automatically. The website was disabled while I was researching this and ensuring that no harm was done. - The malicious software did not affect users of this forum but was designed to make web traffic look like it came from me.
If you choose to register for access to this forum, provide as much or as little information as you are comfortable with. You do not need to provide your real name, your email address or very much else. It always interests me to see where you are located, but I really don't care where you were born!
