RRSport2 spamming attack

I've just been on RRS2 and see getting on for 500 spam posts today from 4-5 "members" who must be computer generating them as they have been online for 14 hours! I have notified Martin by phone but had to leave a message as the call was diverted to voicemail,

Whatever you do don't click on any links in the posts - they are full of viruses and malware according to the software I have. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

There are 4 new spams a minute being created at the moment so it must be some sort of cyber attack. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Does anyone use RRS2? Went on it when it first opened but not since. This site seems to have plenty of RRS2 traffic so assumed the other site was effectively dead. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

One of the guys on here was very helpful (thanks Viper) there. I am new to JLR so went there first. Sonn discovered much more activity here and my car will hopefully be better as a result.

Thanks to all on here and there. I have just seen your post Tim over there thanks for that too. Sorry for not noticing earlier!

Cheers

Dave

I too do not go to RRS2 so often as it seems to be only just kicking and I know Martin has been considering closing it down. I noticed that there was a new post in the "everything goes" section and as I watched and my screen refreshed so the posts increased and increased, all being posted by 4 names. I suspect they must be bots or computer generated as each "member" posts a new post then the next member then the next on a rotation. Last time I looked it was up to 1400 posts today! I am the moderator over on BabyRR the Evoque Forum and Martin gave me access to software that can ban the IP address of the computer generating them as we suffered from a lot of them there at one time. Just now that forum is being bombarded by spam of apparrently unemployed Americans claiming to be reliable, trustworth and good workers! They all have links in their posts so are spamming the site. RRS2 and BabyRR use different forum software to RRSport and martin's earlier forums but they also seem to have a loophole in the software that makes them open to abuse by malicious folks. If Martin gave me moderator access with the same "Goodbye to Spammers " software it would take about 3 minutes to get rid of all the sapm posts and ban the spammers from ever posting again on the forum. I hate spammers with a passion as so many of the links lead to malware and phishing websites and depsite all the warnings there are people like my elderly father who cannot resist clicking on the links, sometimes with distaterous results for their computer!
I'm happy to use this forum, I've been posting here since 2005 and am one of the longest contributing members. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
