Sep 2008: "A vulnerability has been found with your password at vBulletin.org Forum. Some passwords are vulnerable to exploitation which may allow a third party to hijack your account."
I probably just ignored that.
Nov 2013: "We take your security and privacy very seriously. Very recently, our security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of forum user information, possibly including your password. Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We have taken the precaution of resetting your account password."
Did internetbrands buy vbulletin or something?
Today: "Nolo Business Formation Round-up" spam
Internet Brands, Inc. owns FlyerTalk, vBulletin and
quite a bit more - and in turn has agreed to be owned by KKR.
Here's an interesting nexus (remembering some of us got the Nolo Business piece at e-mail addresses not at all related to FT or IB):
Internet Brands establishes a joint venture with LexisNexis Legal & Professional, bringing together Internet Brands’ Nolo legal division and LexisNexis’ Martindale-Hubbell and Lawyers.com business.
Aggressive e-mail blasting. I'll look forward to further information from Admin.
