Another bot registered on the site and posted a bunch of spam. I’ve reported it again.
Can we get some reassurance that there’s sufficient security on this site to prevent attacks which will protect personal data? Can the administrators of the site prevent bots auto enrolling?

Of course Phil, the other members on here will not be privy to the content of your PM to EOpt, which is a shame since whatever concerns he has will be echoed by the rest. I don’t really see this question as a one-to-one question and answer question. Kind regards, Gareth.

If you are looking in your inbox its not there, its in messages at the top of this page Phil Phil, I have no private message from you. There’s nothing in my pm inbox. When I mentioned having nothing in my inbox a few days ago, I was referring to my pm inbox, not my email inboxes. Last week I had one pm from someone looking for help posting pictures to help identify the steering wheel on his Avon. I’ve had no other private messages.

All applicants have to automaticaally be 1. Sent a security code that they must repeat correctly 2 be forced to answer a visual quizz (Captcha) correctly
Since we were attacked by a Vietnamese Bot, that seems to be able to answer these, I now also require the applicant to answer a mauual questionaire. If they answer incorrectly or not at all then they are not allowed access
The Vietnamese Bot has been banned for life and his IP address has been banned for life. I cant stop him moving IP address however
Regards
Phil

Thanks for sharing that, appreciated. Are you content that all the security patches and updates that Proboards issue are in place to protect our personal details?

Hi EtOp
The Proboards software is hosted on their server, not ours So if they have any security mods, I would hope they would have applied all of them. This is outside the control of the Standard Motor Club
