anyone else receiving dodgy emails with .jar attachments from bitcoin.com.org or multibit.com.org ?

signed up to max.poolers.org just before MAX launch, I think the only other bitcoin related site I've used my email address on is this forum.

I have been getting similar things. I am not on any pools, and only use the email on this forum.
I made a thread but every body said it was just me... :/
site was hacked multiple times.. I suspect they got the database.

It was an MPOS site, heard of any others using that software that have had security issues?

There's some significant phishing emails going out in the last few days.  A lot of them are forging the 'From' field to show up as support@btcguild.com, which has just made my life peachy dealing with hundreds of bounce-back and emails calling me a scammer because their email providers failed to recognize that the server forwarding the email isn't included in BTC Guild's SPF records.  Decent email providers *should* market that as spam or even bounce it entirely.

Did I get you right - this site had been attacked once?? I am a newbie so I don't know what was happening before I came here.

Bitcointalk has been compromised at least 3 times since I've been here.  That's just the ones that had a visible effect and were thus publicly known.

Maybe everyone could send the forum operator some BTC to get some better software?  I recon 6000BTC would do it.   Roll Eyes
