Accyweb has been infiltrated

Bob Dobson · 23-04-2020, 20:08

Today I received a PM via Accyweb which appears to have come from China. Part of it was in English, part in Chinese script.

I have not read on here of this happening to anyone before. I intend to simply wipe it off.

Sorry about the spam PM, I also received it and removed the spammer. I can't remove any PM's the spammer might have sent so I suspect a lot of people will have had the message.

Yes, I also had a similar PM a few days ago

Dotti34 in Oz had one as well...she asked me what to do with it.....delete was my response.
She said it looked like it was from Mick(alas no longer here)

I've made a change that will hopefully stop it happening again

dotti34 · 26-04-2020, 23:57

Yes, I got one - which I deleted. We do have to be very careful these days and one virus out of China is enough. I wasn't sure if I could delete it without opening it first (which of course I had no intention of doing) but thanks to Margaret I found that I could as Accyweb is set up to make this easy to do. What I couldn't understand (apart from the Chinese script of course) was that the email address from Accyweb included 'mick' which I thought was strange after all this time of Mick sadly not being with us. If I had received another one I was going to contact you, Neil, but thanks to the above I know that you now have everything under control.

Many thanks for getting on to this so quickly.

Roy has never changed that and it's not something I can do sorry.

shillelagh · 27-04-2020, 00:38

so I delete it then?

dotti34 · 27-04-2020, 03:17

Thanks, Neil, for explaining about that. I can understand it not having been changed - it was just that I wondered if it WAS still this or had our Chinese 'friend' somehow or other been using an old address. Thought it worth mentioning but it's all clear now. Ta.

i got one also and deleted.

Margaret Pilkington · 27-04-2020, 08:01

I feel quite 'snubbed', but in a good way.
Thank you Neil for sorting it.

It seems rather simple to all you devotees of Bill Gates's infernal machine, (Oh, just delete it) but what about luddites like myself who have searched for but cannot find a delete button anywhere.
Come on Marge, I am in dire need of a computer lesson; thanks in advance,
