I used an unique email address when registering on this site,
I've NEVER used this e-mail anywhere else.

Now in the last 2 weeks I've received some spam mails on this account.

So now my question is if there is/was some leak of the email database?

Thanks.

Use a random email when signing up for forums, or even better: 10minutemail.com (of course you're fucked if you forget your password, but that's not an issue here Razz)

Now thats just damn below the waist-line. We will not, ever sell or give away any personal information gathered through registration or any other means.

Lizard, the only way you could have gotten spam on that e-mail addy is through the board's public profile. There are numerous bots sniffing the net, they must have picked up your scent. I suggest you go and set 'Always show my e-mail address' to 'No' under Your Profile (http://www.nfohump.com/forum/profile.php?mode=editprofile).

I gave them your email. Viagra is good for you. No thank you? Nothing? Now this? Our friendship is officially OVER!


ps. It's not really Viagra pills. Found them in my dogs anus looking for my candy.


Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

ACTUALLY:

this is wha'ts going on and no.. i didnt bother to read thru the entire topic:

you need to hide ur e-mail in ur profile... as of now - the email associated with user profiles are listed publicly in the forum... what happens is that gophers/bots/whatever scan forums (not only nforce.nl) for email accounts.. they scan thru _every_ post and thread and snatches the email accounts from there... this is why _every_ forum user is exposed to spam.. Sad

i see this happen alot on forums these days

Always show my e-mail address: so having that set to no should prevent it right?

@peecee gamer (dunno if he's still around) the nforce spyware cookie is nothing more than a cookie that holds your logon info so when you come back here your still logged in.
