Has H.U. been hacked?

[suzannah16]

I have about 20 messages this morning from HU trying to sell me things. Anyone else got this?

[eekt]

No, but report them! xxx

[suzannah16 in reply to eekt]

I deleted them all without looking at them

Hi suzannah16 ,

Are you referring to email notifications about posts in this community? There was a spammer who posted a lot overnight but they have now been removed from the site.

If you have received personal emails or messages then please let me know.

[suzannah16 in reply to Paul_Howard]

yes I guess that's what you would call them, they were posts rather than private messages. miracle cures to gold nuggets.

[PMRpro in reply to Paul_Howard]

How were they caught Paul? Or do you get up in the middle of the night to look!! They were gone by the time I arrived ...

[Paul_Howard Partner LUPUS UK in reply to PMRpro]

They were reported to HealthUnlocked by vigilant members of the community and part of the team there removed them

[PMRpro in reply to Paul_Howard]

I forgot the "night shift"! Ours aren't as well trained though

[PMRpro]

No hacking needed! Anyone can join HU without any screening - and post their drivel.

This lot were obvious - over on PMRGCAuk we have a creature we call underpants man who keeps rejoining under different names to post a link to a page of very colourful budgiehugger boxers. He only posts replies - not as automated as yours were!

Me too.

[Raceworks52]

Yes me too

I had several scam posts first thing this morning , had to go for bloods and physio couldn’t report, pleased to see that Paul Howard says the offender has been removed from the site.

Hi six

Yes I did too a couple days ago and I reported them.

I haven’t seen anymore since then.

I saw them yesterday and then saw Foggyme chasing someone off. Go Foggy! And all who reported. And thanks Paul. xx
