So it looks like there are a few accounts signed up on the forums that signed up before the new sign in security features were added. I traced the IP and it went back to Israel like the last one. If you guys see more of these email me with the user name and I'll delete the account and ban the IP.

Just looked at the error logs and IP addresses that are already banned from .il (Israel) have been trying to login as guest and being denyed every hour for the last day or so.

My guess is that some hackers in Israel have a huge server set up in some apartment and are sending out those pharmacy ads with a return of maybe 1 person per 1000 clicking  it. Then they get money from a few thousand people out of millions of spam sent and shut down and move apartments. At $50 a pop if they get 1000 people thats 50k they could make in a month.

Thanks for taking care of this Zac.

I posted a link about this pharmacy scam the other day...and it's Russian...not Isreali (althought there are Russian Jews) and it is OLD. First reported a few years ago.

The ip addresses all trace back to Israel. I traced several of them.

That doesn't mean anything. IP's can trace anywhere. You think they are not going through proxies, zombies or anonymizers?

Doesn't matter though...google the pharmacy company and read the link I posted. Doesn't make what I said any less true so why argue?  ::)
