  • 1.  Hack of this discussion group?

    Hello, ACS Data Users Group.

    Did anyone else receive (within the past 30 or so minutes) a strange message from this Linkedin group? It appeared that the group might have been hacked.

    Yes, I deleted it. It was spooky. I think we got hacked.

    Thank you, Robin. I deleted it, too. But since I didn't receive any warning afterwards from the Group administrators, I wondered whether others had received the weird post.

    :-o

    Maybe worth asking the administrators, does this group have a CAPTCHA system for signups? It seems this is becoming a bit of a chronic issue.

    Thanks Bernie. We have not had much spam historically on the site but it has definitely increased in the past few months. We are currently investigating options to solve this problem.
