Cell Phone Spam all over the site?

I went to work on some images and came back to dozens of posts about cell phones.
How did the whole orpia site get spammed with pointless questions about cell phones and what is being done about it?

There would be no good way to report all of the posts so I added this topic to bring it to Staff's attention.

Thanks Zorpia Staff!
Yep Mole it looks like your right.

Only now they are sending messages directly to Zorpian's who are online I just reported the worst one I recived.

With a high level of posts I'm guessing the site has been hacked, Also guessing that that is part of the problem having profiles open to visitors / guests

You seem very knowledgable about such things so what you say makes sense.

Right now the big problem is this Russian guy spamming the site with his stupid add. Now it is showing up all over the forum. What do you want to be he has a proxy IP here too. I think that is a winable bet.

mmm I can only post three new items to a forum a day, the only way to do more is to be permitted, or to bypass the safeguards. Hence this entity is into Zorpias systems

I see your point about the safeguards, and the Zorpia system.

Lucky you, I am lucky to get one or two topics posted a day if that, somedays I can not get any topics posted at all. I am sure that they have more than one set of filters they really use depending on the Zorpian.

The real concern is it it can post then it might be able to read email addresses which can be used for spam, or any VIPs might have other details exposed, I hope they are stored encrypted

I could be wrong, but I am suspicious by nature, and you don't hack a big site to spam it, that's a distraction (or it would be if I were doing it)

Sadly that would be a good distraction to keep people busy while you were up to no good on the admin pages of any site.

Honestly where do they come up with such twisted plans?

years of practice, scams work in real life, because people are inherently gullible, there is a need to believe in honest story. Technology works because the approach is unexpected. All system designers use a standard approach to design, if you know how to make sites, you then also know how to access them, the clever part is considering a w ay in that no one is looking at. The front door is easiest as most people expect the system to stand up to that sort of entrance
