Mods, Second Spam Attack in 24 hours

[TLS Guy]

We seem vulnerable to spammers and crooks. We have a mass invasion from Pakistan today. Some "Hadi Badi" or some such. Looks like we are going to have to step up security.

We obviously have to protect our PCs and smart phones from phishing attempts and spammers.

We need to use a reliable anti-malware, antivirus software on both. An ad blocker is also a must.

Over the years, I've used several antivirus/malware softwares. For the last 20 years, I've been using Malwarebytes Premium which protects constantly on line, and my equipment has never been invaded by any malware or virus. Malwarebytes is an American firm based in California and I would never use another software to get protected.

Several years ago, just before a race, NASCAR had their computer invaded by some sort of cyber attack. Malwarebytes went and solved the problem so they could go ahead with the race.

We have been getting blasted with spam bots over the last 18 hours or so. I have been very busy deleting this stuff and banning these bots. This hosting platform need to develop better filters.

I've reported yesterday many of those. Logged in earlier there were lots more of them. They seem to be all gone now. Shady J, as usual you rock man! Like you don't have enough to do on your list. Thanks guys!

If I were you, I would have a trial with Malwarebytes Premium. See my post #2 above for accessing their info.
