      Yeah, yeah, I know I am a pain in the butt…………………..but; after many years here and with the latest "re-launch" of this website, , it is quite apparent that there are major security flaws, so be carefull.

      Today, I received six e-mails,all of which came from "tor" sites via MRF.

      For those unfamiliar with  a "tor" browser , the object is to disguise and misdirect.

      Given the makeup of the new MRF Board,  it is dissapointing this would happen.

      Whats up Tim?

      If you like, I have a packet capture of the trail if you like.

      Regardless, this site has been compromised and I do not like it.

          Just ignore it but I have noticed it on every post.

          Can we report it?

              I have no idea if anyone is even monitoring this site. I've reported spam on several occasions and nothing has been done about it.

                      Hi Linny,

                      Several MPIPers contact me directly when they notice spam on the bulletin board. I delete these posts immediately, so I'm not sure how or to whom you have reported spam in the past.  Please feel free to let me know if you see something we've missed. You can email me directly at [email protected]. I try my best to look through MPIP posts every day or two for spam but I can't possibly catch all of it. Our new website allows us to delete all of the spam much faster than before and we are continuously working to decrease the amount of spam that gets through. Again, we can't possibly stop all of it, but I assure you, we are trying our best.

                      Thanks,

                      Shelby – MRF

                                              PS, I seem to be geting in to the BB again and having better sucess  posting the past day than for the previous month.

                                              Hopeful less false posts due to the extensive work attempting reduce false spam that also made it hard for us to get proper data posted
