PROBLEM:
Earlier this week, we had a Brute Force Hack against several members (only a fraction of our membership), where the message said the same thing (mentioned Verif pro (no space, as it was added to the Censored Word List) and PayPal). So, clearly, it was a Spam attempt.

Luckily, the members involved had very few posts. And, because of this, we caught the majority of them before the message appeared in the different threads and sub-forums.

CAUSE:
Member used a easy to remember password.

SOLUTION:
Change your password to a more complexed, but still, easy to remember one.

Also, we recommend, invoking the, 2-Step Verification.
