Hacking attempt message

Post by Vulcanone » Wed Jul 26, 2017 8:55 pm

I just had a message arrive on my email saying I had a private message on FC,

Entitled Blue Diamonds from a PPPWTAY...??

Didn't click the link but that sound rather bad to me

DDoS - Distributed Denial of Service. I don't pretend to understand the detail but in simple terms a flooding of a system which takes over the bandwidth and so effectively taking the system down.
