odd thread names

[Icarus]

I wonder if the site's been hacked or if it's that persons account, so I'm making a test post here.

I guess it's just this users account has been hacked, or maybe it's a new malware?

[ Edited to delete link to deleted user which is no longer a valid link pertaining to this topic ]

All of that persons posts have embedded links to NYC Asian Escorts (at least that's what it says. I didn't follow the link.)

The funny thing is that in the few that I read, other than those embedded links, the posts look legitimate.

PS: I looked at some more of them, it's not just NYC. hahaha. Very strange.

If you look at the person's posts though, in the case of the two I checked, they are just copied from a previous post with the links added in.

Either hacked, or not legit.

Interesting, Looks like the same 4 links imbedded into earlier posts. 10 of 'em, all within 16 minutes. 40 links total. Hmmm. I'd guess it's the poster's computer that got hacked as I can't see how anyone could manually do all those in the short time. Wonder why TUG, though.... curious.

This is pretty strange, when you first posted this the link went to a user who registered today; now it goes to a different user (different user name) who has been registered for nearly 2 years and has a large number of posts.

Maybe it's already been "fixed," but I can't figure out what you guys are talking about?

I saw it in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep, but this posters posts seemed cogent and on topic, but they had highlighted links to a NYC Asian Escort site...

It was kind of bizarre. I didn't see this thread till just now.

 

[DeniseM]

Where are the posts?

 

[Kay H]

I reported it this morning.. What I saw was the previous post was repeated with several links to NYC Asian Escorts inserted in the post. There were multiple posts like this. Hopefully they were deleted.

 

[TUGBrian]

I saw a million "reported post" emails this morning, but they must have been removed before I logged on today.

 

[timeos2]

Very strange & hit hard

There were 10 posts this AM - all appeared to be legitimate responses until you saw the links. Plus it was under a guest name. I deleted them all & banned the poster. I didn't see the ones that supposedly showed up under a legitimate long time user name.

This is what I thought was so odd. The posts all related to the topic matter in the thread except for the interspersed escort links.

Anyone figure this out?

I am curious how hijacking works (if it was a hijacked computer)

 

[dioxide45]

All the posts I saw and reported were from a guest user with 10 posts. I didn't see any hijacked posts with the links.

 

[DeniseM]

The spam links were not in SDKaths' original post - the spammer quoted her, and then inserted the spam links in the quote. SDKath's Acct. was untouched.

I edited post #2 in this thread to remove that link, which now points to a different user. (See post #11)

I can't edit post #5 which quoted that link, but you can if you want to.

Apparently I used a form of a link to a userid that was thread specific, rather than user specific. Anyway, it's moot now, except for that link, since John banned that user and all those posts.

Hi Icky! - the spammer's post was deleted, so I guess the link is taking you to the previous post - which is SDKath's.

Yeah I know. To avoid confusion, you might want to edit it out of the qoute in post #5 also. Up to you.

Good idea!

changed the name of this thread as i was tired of seeing it at the top of TUG.

What Will They Think Of Next Up In New York City ?

Shux, I wanted to hear more about the NYC Asian escorts.

Must be a fancy extra amenity at Manhattan Club or some such.

That's why I play it safe & just stick with the Orlando timeshares.
