Overnight (UK time) the forum was targeted by a Russian hacker with dangerous links incorporated into over 65 threads.
In the process of deleting the threads I inadvertently deleted a number of recent and active threads.
Apologies for that but it was important the malicious threads were deleted before impacting anyone.
Feel free to restart the deleted threads.
Jeff

But, on a kinda serious note, how do you report threads or posts without actually going into them??

As long as you don't click on any links it should be safe to go into any thread. I never understood those who click on links from strangers or even questioning why something was sent. I’ve lost count of the number of reinstalls of OS for people who have done this. Also don’t understand those who don’t back up their data as it’s been made so easy now. Be careful kids ! |
