Another recent spat. Report them and block their ips and sites from your system. As these are the reason why sites go down and or become infected with virus and malware.
You will know them by their 'names' usually a letter-number combo. And if u check their 'ip' locations. Again usually from the worthless spammers that proliferate the PRC-Russia...etc.
Which equals the worthlessness of those nations in general..that do nothing to stop it.
Don't support these thieves... nationally or commercially... because if u do u do at your on peril.

I just deleted 26 new members, not a single legit ip among them. Some were listed as toxic.
This goes on all the time. It just seems to increase at certain times.
Some are just spammers, however, some are here to attempt to upload malicious files.

Unknown.
If u go to their forum profile page you will also find very little info...especially a home page. this is an indicatior they are either an individual or bot 'spammer'.
They not only, as Red notes above, attempt to upload malware files they are also seeking your personal data info for criminal purposes.
In particular id theft-fraud and resale of the same data for fraud.
I suggest you also reset your personal passwords frequently and that u use credible software in cleaning-protecting and maintaining your system.
