Hello all,
Since yesterday, SPAM is being send to one of my e-mail addresses. I used this address exclusively for this forum. Apparently, the address list of this forum has been stolen and is now being misused...
Regards,
R. Schreurs

Your email address is visible in the RSS feed of this forum. It's bubba2.user@ some dutch provider. So not much of a hack but more the stupidity of the forum software .

indeed. Maybe related to the "Users can contact me by e-mail:" setting

Well, visibility in the RSS feed clarifies how the address was found. Still I think the forum owner, Excito, should not publish email addresses. This discussion on the phpBB community site could help preventing this in the future.

The issue has been solved. I now see <author>forum@excito.com (r.schreurs)</author>, so not my personal email address. Thanks
