Amy connection with the recent update to the forum or just coincidence?

It started well before the forum update, so I doubt. Hopefully the forum update provided more security against this kind of stuff.

Yea this was before the update. Maybe it helped push the update I don’t know. I can’t even say that all the spam is because of the first GT emails some most likely but all, who knows.

This was what I meant, that concerns about the spam email led to updating the forum.

Check your preferences, currently everything is enabled from notifications to emails.

As in the update contained a security patch which addresses a possible vulnerability? I don’t know, but it sounds plausible enough.

That’s a real shame. I have no idea of what happened, and haven’t heard anything from the owners. Apparently, it was widespread, whatever the source. If there is an actual product tied to it, I would be glad to inform the manufacturers that they have lost my business, permanently.

It is a real product, a legit one at that. I've seen Black Mountain hybrid thumbpicks advertised by Justin Johnson, he endorses them, and I debated getting one myself. I checked, the link leads to their actual site (which I have visited before), which makes me think this isn't a data leak, but a legitimate selling of information. If not, and it was harvesting of data, I'll be steamed.

I do not mind advertising in the forum let them link some good relevant products and make some money. I do not like getting unsolicited emails. Or having such arbitrarily preferences turned on with an update and not being informed that it happens.

They’re baa-aack. Got a newsletter from “Drum forum”. Mail address was: [email protected] or posing as such.
The news letter option is unchecked in my forum preferences.

Yes, I've gotten those the last few days. I've unchecked my preferences.

That’s the thing, my preferences were always unchecked.

I have had a lot of junk since I got this first one which prompted the start of this thread. I get upwards 15 new junk mails every day which I never got until the day I got the origial.
