CARNAC

Folks I just got an PM from James2 (a new member) with zero posts and a location of "f". There was a link on that post that looks suspicious and the pm message sent to me had nothing to do with military vehicles.

Suggest we get MANGUS to check this out prior to anyone opening the link.

If James2 is legit, I appologize but until this is checked out, I'm taking the side of caution.

I noticed a new PM and was about to open it when I happened to glance down the posts and noticed this tread. Read this first. What a coincidence when I was still wiping sleep from my eyes. Thanks Carnac!

OPCOM

Someone could be nominated as infosec officer to use the IP address to find the internet account that this mess came from and notify the ISP. They usually do investigate. If it's a single user, the acct can be terminated. If it's corporate or something like a public library, they'd be glad to know about a hole that makes them liable for allowing someone to upload viruses. People might say it's not worth it to pursue but think of it as a sport. It's surprising how many companies and even ISPs have been hacked into, where the hax0r created themselves an account without the owner knowing it, and how many of them are then launchpads for hacks.
