1-26-2004 Spam Attack - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Amateur Radio
-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components
-- Employment & Interviews
-- Miscellany
-- Swap Shop

 Well, it looks like I'm the victim of another spam attack from idiots that do not run proper antivirus and firewall software on their computers. This one is growing to be about as significant as the one last summer that hit everyone worldwide.

Read about it here:

I run Norton 2004 AntiVirus and Firewall on EVERYTHING coming into and going out of the website, and have automatic updates enabled so the very latest in protection is in place.

Normally, I am a supporter of the death penalty only in the case of a capital crime, but in this case I would support death by public execution for anyone proven guilty of creating and purposefully propogating this type of attack. At the very least, the person's typing fingers should be removed without the benefit of anesthesia!
