|
|
Around eight o'clock this morning, Unity was subjected to a spam bot attack. The spam contained was absolutely disgusting and contained illegal content. It has all been deleted and the authorities notified.
To anyone who was exposed to that filth, I deeply apologize. The account used is banned and I will be discussing new security protocols with CMAC shortly. Of course... if we were more active, spam bots would shy away. >_>
Okay, last part is funning around but the rest is dead serious. I sincerely hope I'm the only one that was exposed to that trash, and, as a notice to any future spammers... you will not spread your garbage here. I assure you of that. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Like I said, I would personally doubt it was actually a bot at this point. My guess is it was a person. That said, I haven't seen the content in question (it's been entirely removed) but our current security protocols are aimed at stopping bots, not actual people. So, as Moff said, we'll be looking into it. _________________

I just got a bunch of emails, but that was saying I was added to an RPG group, and this was the first forum I checked in a while.
In a way, my inactivity seemed to have spared me from the attack...
The captcha, at least when I created my accounts here, seems to be very difficult, and I also believe it would be difficult for any bot to get through that process.
Did you forward the IP address to local authorities (assuming this content was not only immoral, but illegal) my mind can only jump to drug, rape, and under-aged pornographic solicitation. It could used to track the pervert... |

Your last guess won the gold star. And yes, the emails you will all be receiving about being added to the "RPG" group... well, that's a good thing. If you have trouble accessing RPG forums from a particular account, notify us with which account and we'll correct the oversight.
Not that there should be any... Cray's writing a script now to handle it. But... _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Gotcha, that's a pity that people actually seek out Star Wars fan fiction sites to do this to, and not only that, but the children they are soliciting. |

In this RPG group, how come only a few characters are in the group? I'm not seeing Badim in there. Just curious on how the accounts are picked. _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

Haha. Well, this might have ended up being good for Unity. I'm seeing more activity here today than I have in the past month _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

Because I first went through the usergroups... then went up the applications forum. And then I stopped because Cray told me to for his script.

YAY!

...Yes, there's a wonderful thought. We owe the game's revival to pedophiles. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

I came back due to the emails, but if it takes arresting a pedophile that tampers with our Unity forums, hell... |

Alright, you should all have access to the RPG forums. Please let me know if you don't. _________________

The RPG forum is where all the fun writing is right? Or there something else that I'm missing? _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

I haven't checked my email, I actually check this site more often. Which is still never. Like Alex said in regard to himself, my inactivity seems to have spared me. Though frankly it would have made me more mad than disgusted.
Tis an interesting question, how to stop a spamman. |

On the subject of Spam, I don't suppose any of you have checked the Holonet lately, have you? Because in the past few days it seems that the spambots have found a new avenue of attack. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |

It's times like this I actually wished I knew how to navigate the damn thing and how to edit and delete things.
I guess I'll have to wait for one of the others to sign on. |

Too bad this site has had more activity from spambots than users.

You guys really need to think about doing some kind of approval process for new wiki accounts, because wow, those spamlets sure are persistent. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |
