Unless he has a new line of work, I guess his account has been hacked!!
My thought exactly.

I did think that a few weeks ago when he sounded almost reasonable in some of the pit threads.

Quite strange. Last proper post was about 2 days ago.
Does mean that there may be fewer Tories are great posts which is a bonus and less SC activity
An interesting last post before all the viagra stuff…
Can't say I've had the courage to click on any links.

I pm,d him earlier and got a reply just now, he has indeed been hacked on a few platforms.
Same password for all platforms which were "hacked" I imagine aka phished.

It was all a bit strange a couple of weeks ago as I got messages saying the my Facebook account had been hacked (different email address) where someone had put loads of dieting ads in my Photo Albums..
Then later that day, I couldn’t log into my Amazon account (managed to get that sorted). Although my Google account had been hacked so that all emails from Amazon were blocked by a filter!
But the real bummer was someone had changed my Google (and hence email). Every time, I reset it my sending a link to my mobile, they had changed it again until I added authentication. At which point they couldn’t get back into my account.
Looking through all the devices that had logged in one was an Samsung device in Spain!
As I said to Seedog.. my friend suggested I put my email in a site called https://haveibeenpwned.com/
And loads of data breaches came up :( certainly worth checking.
I’ve been slowing swapping over emails and changing passwords with random characters in..a long process :(
I'd recommend downloading 1Password, LastPass or Bitwarden. Will help a lot.
I can understand a felon hacking an Amazon account because they will make money from it. But what is the point in hacking a WIS forum members identity as there is nothing to gain.
Probably they were looking for your wisdom on a myriad of subjects Mick.😂
They spammed out links to sites which will no doubt end in harm. Either something on your computer or a phishing attack to gain your Amazon etc details later on.
When you have a second go through your most recent posts and edit them to remove the links.
Thanks for reminding me, all deleted or edited…
I actually use eWallet for all my passwords and it has a random password generator built in. It works across all platforms too :)
Which one was that??
I imagine the ones you just erased (e.g. in the Omega thread).
I think that was one with all the Viagra spam? I thought maybe he was referring to a BP post :)
