Ozhonda upgraded and other important information.

I would have assumed that the most important information would have involved our email addresses and passwords. Did this hacker have access to those? I'm thinking he/she may have our email addresses since we got spammed, though I'm also concerned about the password. Was there access?

I go on other car forums too and there seems to be a lot of negative connotations about this site at times from both honda owners and other car owners of other Japanese manufacturers.

I think this should be a fresh start for everyone affiliated with this site and improve the image of OzHonda and prevent a repeat of this unsavoury incident in general.

Valid points however the moderators forum isn't meant to be a 'secret' forum. IT is a place where moderators can discuss things and then present the solution when there is a dispute. That site didn't look at any of the other things we do in the moderators section about the rules/guidlines that mods have to follow and how we vote on issues when in order to come to a conclusion. Most forums have a seperate section for mods.....and we are no exception.

StOo, I will be emailing all users shortly. It is essentially the email addresses that were taken and not passwords. However i DO recommend you change your password to something complex (with capitals / numbers and symbols).

So how much spam can we expect now?

Did anyone else get that one from mrsniper911@thecarscene.com advertising their forums? I never used to get any junk mail, and now that it's started, I don't think it's going to stop.

Not happy Jan.

StOo, I have had no other spam other than the offer to join the other forum (ie one email only). I would suggest adding a good email blocker so that that sort of email goes straight to junk.
