Is anybody else getting spammed by vbhackers.com

How do they know that I'm a member here or over at .org has one of them been hacked, how safe is my account?

[Wayne Luke]

I have never gotten a single email from them. If they are spamming you, report them to their ISP.

[MrNase]

Same here.. They spammed my with 2 mails..

First was:

Hi All, Just to let you know there is another new board for your hacks and mods.
It will cover vb mybb yabb etc etc
Pop over and say hi

and the second was:

Hi All

New board open @
http://www.#URLREMOVED#
Irc Efnet ##

come along and say hi.
also looking for new staff.

Both were sent to an address I don't use at this forums.

[martync]

Same mails, strange how they know we have a vb boards

[Moparx]

you all are probably members of vbhacks.us (which is now vbhackers.com), as i am.. and thus i received the emails too.
its a hack/template mod board like vb.org, etc thats been around for awhile now

[martync]

Just checked the site, yes my name is registered there with zero postings, I did not register there and its the first I have heard of them

One other thing I did notice was the number of members they have with the same amount of posts.....Zero which is strange

Funny how they say it covers vB, MyBB, YaBB, etc. and it has vB in the URL and only has vB modfication boards

MGM out

Aren't vB hacks illegal?

[golfer adam]

Aren't vB hacks illegal?

If it is a case of remote or local hacking other sites it is definetly illegal.

If they are distributing work from others without written permission, yes.

If they are the author of the resources they post on their web sites, no.

Note in case they read this: Nobody has permission to distribute what I made without my permission, which you just didn't get

[Floris]

I have never gotten a single email from them. If they are spamming you, report them to their ISP.

I just received 2 of their emails, and returned a kind request to explain themselves on how they got my email address and to remove me from their list. Both emails bounced.

Therefor I've taken another 5 minutes of my time to contact their hosting provider and data center and report them for unsollicitated emailing.

[Skyline_GTR]

I got their email twice..

[VBuIIetin]

I got these emails too about vbhackers.com .... it would appear that the IPs come from three sources:
North America
Lagos (Nigeria)
China

Check the headers....
