Spamming of Members Profiles

Cleared after trying to list them.Went back to them and the tally had disappeared.

Have to say, thought it was the deft hand of Adam

 

Mine seems to have cleared itself as well.

 

Thanks everyone (you too Andy, I'm sure you put them in full retreat as only a 1940 guy can do ), as always great work keeping things tidy.

Happy 2013 to all!!

 

Mine went into the billions earlier, after deleting the spam.
Cleared itself.

Has happened on other vbulletin forums.
Looking into it.


You've always been a popular guy Adam

 

You've always been a popular guy Adam :smile: and there was me wondering if I was getting hate mail from all the people I had pis-ed off.

I thought this number looked familiar.
it is (2^32) +1
or 100000001 in base 16.

I guess something like this probably happened:

(uint64)((uint32)0 -1)) + 2;

Well then, that's that all solved.

If the number had ended in ...295 then a simple case of 0 - 1.
The interesting part is the conversion to a 64-bit integer afterwards.

A big bug for a simple message counter

Where were you today? You're booked on 5C :p

Today? I thought I'd book the 3rd! Now that's annoying, I bet there won't be anything there tomorrow.

 

Think there was only two files (Air) in your box, not that I was looking

They may have put the files out today mate as it was dead with hardly anyone in except WW2 Talk Forum members

 

That's probably it as I ordered six files. Are you there tomorrow mate?

 

All week - Just don't tell Andrea, I've not given her the good news yet

 

Brews on me tomorrow then.

Hello Adam/any Modertor,

I had this number of supposed notifications, it cleared when I clicked on 'Your Notifications'.

However, I have subsequently noticed certain words in forum members 'Messages' are underlined; usually small words like 'book', 'failed', etc. When you place the cursor to hover over the word an advertisement can be seen. The main advertisement is for a iPhone 5, but the adverts are not limited to this.

See the word 'book' at Message # 52...

Is this a generic forum wide problem?

Best,

Steve.

 

Any others getting link-spam that persists after a malware scan?

Nothing here.
