Vital is under attack....(Again)

Realistically how can the spam be permanently stopped? Paid subscription but that’s a slippery slope?

What about a captcha at sign up ? Do those actually work or have they figured out a way to get around that too

They’re just trying to let you know, the fortune you seek is in another cookie.

Damn. That sucks .  Most times, those are phishing notifications. Especially, if they’re popping up in your email. The ones I’ve seen, have a link attached which opens up another can of worms.

This popped up on my Home Screen.  I had to click it away.  I crop the screenshot cause I had personal info on my Home Screen.  I think the only app I had open or minimized was YouTube.  I changed my password and so far no problems , hasn’t happened again

I change all my passwords once a month for peace of mind. Sucks but, I’ve had viruses ruin a computer in the past.
 

With my company phone, I’m required to change it weekly. We had the company’s entire network held for ransom a couple years ago. They were demanding an astronomical amount in Bitcoin. The FBI got involved. It was a mess. 
Payroll was written checks as direct deposit wasn’t an option while things were getting figured out. Technology, as great as it is, there’s always risks with it.

This cunt doesn't give up. His marketing strategy is really fucked up. Why target Vital?

As far as blue pills go, I have more need for Naprosyn than the other.

It would appear that the spammer, seeing all of the starg vark threads, has determined they've found their target audience.

No shit.  Talk about SPAM.....especially when there is a specific forum for that e-bike garbage.

Now the "bike build" section is all spam again, maybe this is why the Vital site has gotten so slow because the web team cant get control of the spammers. This is getting embarrassing guys, if you cant fix it then get new web techs or security for the site because someone isnt getting the job done. Blush

They're making legit accounts, they aren't bots. It's a pain in the ass.

ML512,

Also volunteering my services.  PM me the software used to run the forum and I'll dig up some protective 'best practice' configs and potential out of the box solutions for this crap.

Change your password using a password generator online and setup 2 Factor Authentication for your iCloud. Plenty of guides online about it.

I own quite a large forum in the UK (not moto) and the regulars know to report spam posts which automatically sends an alert to us admin, so we can zap em pretty quickly even if we're not around on the forum.

We use a Vbullettin platform which has a setting where new users can't post links until they've made a certain number of posts, which helps.

Is vital loading very slowly for everyone else lately?

Yes.      Sometimes pages don't fully load either.      This is the only site I have this issue.
