You may have received a filthy message in your Forum inbox from 'bgarthe'. I don't think it was from our Bill Garthe. So, it looks like his account has been hacked. I had to ban the 'bgarthe' account as a safety measure.
Sorry Bill. I'm looking for a workaround.

So maybe this is deeper than I thought.

I got one from a Tinian or something close. Can you check on that for me and get the exact username? Thanks. |

Nevermind, I found it. The Ant Guy. Well, actually it looks like the same person who hijacked 'bgarthe' created two extra accounts to create a bogus discussion on ants. And then used those accounts to send the offensive material.
Must be some teenagers.
Sorry about that. I guess I'm going to have to start screening the new accounts.
If anyone gets any more of this stuff it would be a good idea to change your Forum password as a safety measure. Also, please report it to me ASAP.

I have one today on my message board, Clark, titled "I'm sorry" and sent from bgarthe (visitor) legendsarereal.proboards.com/ Take care on opening, it's a mixture of deathpix and porn... |

Yeah, what happened is, when Bill closed his account his username was converted to 'guest' and still visible in all of his posts. Then the hacker re-registered with that name and used it to send the offending messages. I had not anticipated that security hole. I can't get any sleep. Why do people do this? Pitiful. |

What are deathpix? Is there a virus in the e-mails? I haven't gotten anything yet but I can't seem to get any messages actually posted. I get an error message.

Your message got through OK, Bradleigh...My security cannot detect any virus present... It just seems a sad attempt to shock...someone, somewhere, needs medication...

Yes it looks this one came through fine. I was trying to post another message with a picture on Bug Identification forum, and was getting an error message. I'm going to wait a little while and try again.

What are deathpix? Bradleigh Deathpix are gruesome horror stuff, like dismembered bodies, diseased bodies. Not pleasant at all. You don't want to look. |

I have also received such a message last night. Sender was named bgarthe. I'm very happy to get such pictures, so I don't need to search them any longer in the dark edges of the web.  Hannes |

The deathpix are worse than any porn I've seen.

I got one from bgarthe last night too. I had sent Bill a PM before his account was deactivated so I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
