Yes, I got them this morning as well - around 100 in all. I kept marking them as spam. Many thanks to Jaap and Docc for fighting the battle to ultimate victory

I wonder if those who received these have the "Push" notifications enabled in their profile?

[Jan 24 edit: This is not the issue. Deselect "Technical Topics"  in "Manage Followed Content." ]

I do have push notifications enabled on my phone.
 

I am not sure we can identify all of the vulnerabilities this attacker utilized, but thanks to all for sharing observations.

G'day folk's

I never received any of these emails but I did have an issue...

My emails had a hissy fit last night and I had to change password and reset  links to my work laptop and printer this morning!

All is good now but I wonder if it was anything to do with this carry on?

Phew glad I have decent security!

Cheers Guzzler

The spam filter at my provider would definitely do that.

I doubt it.

Question.. could you put a roadblock to joining until this goes away.

Add some detailed questions before they can join that only a Guzzisti would know?

It would be easier than deleting account after account and their posts wouldnt it?

You receive this notification emails probably because you follow this subforum. Nothing we can do about that. Sorry!

You guys are fast, I reported one just before I saw this thread.

I don't get email notifications (from anywhere but a couple sparsely-populated, infrequent forums) so I wasn't spammed, important to note I think since that would indicate a penetration of the member email database.

That would be my concern if the spam email were coming directly from the spammer. [edit: The Notifications are simply coming to those who have listed Technical Topics as content to follow. ]

Round two: I just flagged four [edit: eight for Round Two] more users this morning. Probably fighting with a robot . . .

MEMBER IMMEDIATE ACTION:

Click on your username, top right.

Select "Manage Followed Content.

Deselect "Technical Topics" subforum.

[edit: also now "24/7 V11" subforum has been targeted. Manage your followed content according.]

Thanks Docc.
It's a little different on my Android phone. You go to List View, select the "Subscribed" tab, and deselect the subforums. I deselected V11 24/7.
