Ohh no
I have this news section on my site where people can send a news article to a friend should they wish to do sop – apparently a spammer figured out how to take advantage of that…. I have just received about 200 bounced emails
The system makes it possible to write a message to the friend you want to send the news article to – here is the spammers message to all his millions of friends:
Here is the message from nokia ringtones :
dance last ringtone dance last ringtone http://dancelastringtonegbhkig.blogspot.com reba mcentire ringtone reba mcentire ringtone http://rebamcentireringtonecretdk.blogspot.com download ringtones http://downloadringtonessvo.blogspot.com download ringtones dave hollister ringtones dave hollister ringtones http://davehollisterringtonesmvli.blogspot.com eric clapton ringtone eric clapton ringtone http://ericclaptonringtoneefhb.blogspot.comI guess this meens that my email addresses will now be added to some SPAM blacklists ? Any advice on how this works and how I can undo this?
This spammer must be a very nice person – not only does he annoy a lot of people with his spam mails – he also don’t give a damn about damaging other peoples sites
I am glad I don’t know where he lives or I would be on a plane right now…:shooter:Jan wrote:The system makes it possible to write a message to the friend you want to send the news article to – here is the spammers message to all his millions of friendsGet that secured immediately, if you haven’t already. Even disable it until you can deal with it properly if you have to.

I found this in a search, and it will give you a start…

I’d go with you Jan if we knew where to look. Lousy SOB!
sorry to hear this has happened to you.
Ringtone people seem to be weird.
If you go to this address http://www.google.com/search?q=gamesandcasino.com&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1 at google for G&C you will see a paid ad to the right.
It’s a ringtone guy doing that. I don’t see how he can make $ that way but he must because it’s been there for some time now.
captcha inserted = problem solved I hope.
Thanks for the help :bigsmile:
I would keep an eye on it. The captcha will stop the automated stuff. But, if they are sending more than one at a time, it could be that your form is allowing input into fields it shouldn’t, like email headers. So, it may still be insecure.
I don’t know enough to help more. I’m just saying it sounds like there may be an issue beyond the captcha, since they were able to add things they shouldn’t be able to add.
