See all the birthdays below? The ones that indicate 28 years of age. Probably all spammers. All the ones I looked at have zero posts, haven't been on in years, and have *.ru email addresses. Why not purge the bastards? Only about 150 of them... ;)
 
lol, thats alot of 28 year olds. Damn.. Thats a way to clear some ip's
 
Yeah these bastards are using up all the good user names. When I signed up I totally wanted to be "pornnnooo" but it was already taken...

Nice find. But don't ban ALL the 28 year olds or I'm a gonner.
 
LOL, I am not sure what that is. Every year or two someone notices it. Every big board seems to have a day like this;)
 
I

Think theres more to it . The site has been showing signs of hackers .yesterday was really bad .error error error and thats when i found the list of birthdays and thought it was strange to have all those birthdates the same ,and had nothing to do with cars .. You might have the russian giant working your system .i would kill all those user names and delete all of them zero posts or not .. Just to be safe .

The server is as locked down as possible and while our VB is not the latest version, its patched against all but the most involved hacks and I seriously doubt anyone has enough interest in this board to go to those lengths.
 
It has

Nothing to do with cars .. I know .. They use system networks to extend there range of power . They use many user names so you cant track back to them .. And jump through many networks at once .they have been hacking gov networks for a long time . In an attempt to steal secrets . If you have many sites i would find them and get rid of them quick .they will never log on or post .they just work the network so they can hide ..when they come on they bring a hundred or so user names so you have a hard time killing them from the system .. When you catch it ... And it looks like they have been here a while .. Anyone who clicked on a user name would be unsafe at this point as a carrier .think your systems safe ask my freinds at the pentagon. They cant even stop them .they just try to slow them down in an attempt to track back with no luck yet all they know its comming out of china not russia .. I would get ride of all those 28 year olds without a post ..
 
What do usernames have to do with server access? Having 1000 usernames here wouldnt do crap for you. You cant exploit the forum software to do much of anything.

You're paranoid, dude.
 
well maybe!!

but then again .as per my former job with the military tells me different. it will not effect your server untill they are caught .then they crash it in an attempt to hide .kinda like a time bomb .. ask your local fbi to take a look and lets see what they say .. you would be shocked to see how they can use a server to their advantage .. thats all i have to say .. paranoid ..
 
Whatever.. maybe we should hire you to do security then since you seem to have a great grasp of how vBulletin runs in regards to a linux server.
 
sorry

but i cant help you . if the government cant protect their systems what makes your so safe?? those people that say it cant happen are the ones scratching their heads after it happens saying wtf .it would not hurt one bit for you to take some advice . and get rid of them .. they used a dating sit to crash an airport network in southbend two years ago even shut down the street lights on the whole west side of town .. obama was here at that time ..
