SPAM!!!!

in General Discussion
Well folks it looks like many of the forums got spammed big time- someone peddling fake documents. Just a quick look reveals ALL Africa and Asia forums and sub-forums were hit, at least once and in some cases multiple times since last night. This is one of the worst attacks I've seen since 2013. It may not be over, but lets hope so.

I alerted Tauck IT. Let's hope they are working today and able to clear out the SPAM and block new attempts.

    Hey Alan (and everyone else),

    Thanks for sending me a note, Alan. Some of us are working today, and the spam will be gone shortly.

    Best,
    Tim

    Tauck really has IT people? Hard to believe, the way this forum continues to be broken half the time. Alan, how did you even get to the General section? I haven't seen it, and its subforms for at least a week (I'm responding through the recent posts link.)

    Yup, the other forums disappeared so I did a search- all non-tour specific forums appear in the pull-down. Then I used a search term I knew would yield results. It was a bit of a pain.

    Creative! The problem with posting to an invisible forum is very few are likely to see the post, except when it's brand new and is featured in the Recent Posts heading.

    Hi TauckTim,

    Do you have any idea when the tour specific forums will be back up? Thanks.
