If you received an email from brent, it is a hack job using the database. Do not open it or forward it, delete it on sight.

Just a heads up so that you can have some history. I have seen this going back 3 months. Got two a month apart opened them the body was blank.

I am pretty sure they were addressed as from you first & last name@clubhotrod.com. Then sometime later I received a news letter type of affair and that I knew was legit. Just saying maybe it will help to figure out how long this could have been going on.. Pretty sure they are mining email addresses for the all America sport of spam, cannot get enough of that, probably googley the slime balls.

I got one and opened it with it's link to a flier web page. I couldn't get into the site earlier today so didn't see this.

Got a call from Johnboy yesterday,,warning me about this,,but my wife had already opened it,realised what it was and dumped it..luckily we have some good security on our computers,so it got dumped as soon as we saw it..Thanks for the post Uncle Bill..

Thanks for the heads up Bill! Just dumped it from my email.

Got the message, deleted my email address here.... and goodbye

Brent worked all night plugging holes and getting the server back to where it belongs. As another moderator on a sister site stated "I just sweep up after him" .....

Thanks Bill.
It seems epidemic lately on many forums. My favorite RV site got hammered about 2-3 weeks ago.

Do you need a fresh broom yet?

Would love to find these sick little weasel whippers,and cut their fingers off..They must get some weird fascination out of doing this...Tossers....
Big thanx to Brent for tidying up the mess..Last time I tried to get on last night was about 10.45,,OUR time,,which means early hours up your neck of the woods,so a big thanx..

Whats your problem,grouchy??Its gunna happen from time to time,,cant do much about it,,unless you throw your computer away....

Two posts since 2007, I guess ricers are more your style then...LOL!!!!!!!!!

It's happening to a large majority of the automotive forums that use php, svtperformance was hit just last week, took them almost three days to come back up. Corral.net was another, down for a day and a half, corvetteforum, same thing.....So it is not just CHR/CC........

Yeah, we've got some good company in other sites that have been struck. Gives me little comfort though, as there's just a lot of a-holes out there perfectly willing to make others suffer for their own desires.

But for what reason?
They can't physically see the frustration/irritation/reaction to the mahem they've created.
Surely these weird sickos would get more satisfaction out of drowning a kitten, where they can actually see the suffering they've caused?
They're actually sad in my opinion; 'little' people who's only claim to fame is causing problems for someone else...
I just don't understand.
If that's the most they can aspire to...then yeah...they're sad...

Mr Mustang sir...your byline says it very well.

Didn't think Bill was sending that! Just deleted it!
