Oh, those Russians...

i've noticed a recent influx of fake registrations on heartland, all using random names and bogus "russian" email addresses

eg:

program20a 69personal@bk.ru
VioletMan alanstorm@bk.ru
AlexCoppas alexcoppa@mail.ru
hadley catkin03@yandex.ru
TinyMiss20 dating-try-it@mail.ru
joiqdpnbc dsf5555@mail.ru
orkfkrqjg er50001@mail.ru
khizlyuklcg er50002@mail.ru

in the last few days there's been at least 25 of them.

i'll be deleting them soon and in the meantime i've decided to ban all *@mail.ru and *@bk.ru addresses.

my sincerest apologies to any genuine russian sisters fans affected by this, but i'm afraid i think its better safe than sorry.

on a slightly related note, wishville seems have been down all evening due to some russian hacker finding an exploit in their bb software (dont panic, its a different system to HL!)

Board offline 'cos it's been hacked by somr Russian goon.

Shouldn't take long so pop back soon
they seem to have done something thats granted them access to WV's user database - i received a spam email claiming to be from the forum:

I got the email too. The fact it said "we" instead of "I" gave it away. Unless Mik is a royal "we".

What the f**k is it with Russians of late. Had to throw a drunken one out of my studio on Saturday for harrassing my female customers.... that's my job.

Normal poor service has been resumed; many thanks to Herr Quiff for giving shelter to my homeless during this troubling incident.

Danke!

Whats all this talk about "Cardiff" ?

Is there something going on in MY Capital city - OK its 10 miles away from my present location, that I SHOULD know about?

Why was I not informed ! :wink:

Knew You'd Be Pleased.....

@Markfiend :notworthy:

Thanks Mate - I did suspect it was something like that - I will be sure to stay AWAY from Cardiff when this event takes place!

Yeah, I noticed some "our newest user" names recently that were just like thgsigfhah or dfmnakjmkj or whatever... thought something might be afoot...

Kick out the Commies Quiffy, that's what I say! :twisted: ;D

Just because I happened to release approximately 2 albums worth of material for free, it does not mean I'm a commie.

Besides, I'm charging for the next one. Purely to recoup materials and keep the other guys happy, but it's capitalist in principle, honest :(

No you're alright Mike, music for the people! 8)

I don't like people. Unless they pay for our music, so the next lot can be released for cheaper.

But hey. We're goths, not people.
