Thanks Pete, but the whole Mod Team's been on this particular case!

However, if everyone out there wants to see this Forum continue without being drowned in this crap, you ALL can and should help - if you see ANYTHING like this - any dodgy posts, any suspect links, anything untoward in sig lines or anywhere on any user's profile, then PLEASE REPORT IT!

Just hit the little Exclamation Mark in a triangle ( ! ) that's down in the bottom left of the offending post; add some text about what you think is wrong; and then submit the report! That way, every Mod/Admin here will get to see it ASAP and whoever is closest will be able to do something straight away!

We really need everyone's help to keep this sorta crap off our site and to avoid it bogging us down in rubbish like this! Thank you all!!

Just curious, based on the join dates of the accounts that were addressed, it appears the hacker did get in and started grabbing profiles of existing members.

Was the root cause determined and addressed or is the hacker still permeating even more legit users accounts?
