Technically this is neither an exploit nor related to the BB software being used...

It's a bot anyway. But requires a real live person to register to let the bot send spam via PM.

I came here intending to ask if anybody else got a strange PM.
Already wrote to Bumper.
Our national forum is based on the same platform and had similar problems which required some service packs from IPB to be installed. Now spam is sporadic.

All PM's on this have been deleted, hopefully the changes that Hack has put in place will prevent further problems
