YENKO board SPAMMED!!!
Some of you may have already seen this but sometime this weekend the YENKO board got hit by spam posts adding 5-10 posts to just about every thread - literally THOUSANDS of spam posts.
Hope we have software in place here to combat this!

That is the second time in the last few days that it happened. On Friday they got 700 spam post. It looks to be that many or more this morning.

They were behind in installing updates. Another local car board was hit a few months ago and is still digging out.
Our admin, dm_fan is on top of it, but its ever changing in the world of hackers. |

It was not fun digging out of that. |

The US needs to step up their "complaints" against China, for one, who are supporting or even using State sponsored hacking as way to grow their economy, and trash ours. China is big on stealing , and a lot of spam links to stuff being sold is knockoffs/counterfeit. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
