Klasik-69 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have been getting some very strange Russian looking messages which appear to be hacker type emails/messages. I don't dare open them up. I wonder if anyone else out there has started getting these. I was trying to notify the forum's moderator to let him/her know about this. It looks like someone infiltrated the membership listing and spamming from that list. If you get an email or message like that, I would caution you to delete it. Either way, unless you can read Russian or Ukrainian, it won't do you any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmustang Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Yup, I turned off the PM feature on my account for now. Only way I know to stop the spammers from contacting me via PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelD Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I got it as well. Then deleted it. Thanks for the heads up and thanks to Mazda for working on this. What a PIA. On a positive note my 7 started right up after sleeping for 97 days. What a great day for a ride. Almost perfect. Time to start planning out my track and autocross days.

Klasik-69 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well right after all this crap, one of our girls at my company was "surfing" the web on some Hollywood sites and managed to get our files encrypted, followed shortly thereafter with an offer to fix this for a certain amount if money. We called out IT guy who remotely logged on our network and identified her computer as the source of attack, and within s few minutes, his computer files were likewise encrypted. Since we backup our files three way every night (server, external terra station and off site) our files were quickly restored. Our girl got a few days off without pay, one more and she gets a long term vacation. Encryption originates in Russia & China....bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
