Well, apparently, it’s BL’s fault to let phishers claim they are BrickLink, because
they are like “hawkers out front of your brick-and-mortar shop all day handing
out flyers to customers” and that you can chase by waving your broom in their
general direction 🤷‍♂️

That comment seems to have gotten gotten under your skin. Why not reply to the
person who made it rather than griping about it to someone else almost a week
later? Unfortunately, as you know, you have misrepresented what I said. That
comment was about forum spammers, not phishers. You are usually so pedantic;
I’m surprised you would overlook such an important distinction.🤷‍♂️

I am astonished that people could think they would never fall for any type of
scam, especially those that don’t even operate a store here. Most people are
vigilant, but being constantly on guard leads to fatigue. Bad actors only have
to be successful ONCE. It costs them next to nothing to make thousands upon
thousands of attempts, and they will catch you the one time your guard slips
a little. But we have to be successful against EVERY attempt they make and it
costs us of time and energy to do that.

It’s easy to blame the victim until you become one. A major part of being vigilant
is being humble enough to recognize that you too could become a victim.

Greetings all,

The spammer emails continue and are now a daily basis. See attached image as
it shows the incorrect email.

@BrickLink: can you please put a banner on the landing page to at least warn
users of this issue.

I'm curious though, is this being done to any/all users of BL or is this
subjective to sellers.

Brian

After reading about these, I checked my spam folder and Google has flagged them
all as spam and removed them from the inbox.

There maybe things I (we) don't care for about Google but they do an excellent
job of screening junk e-mail.

Were the accounts that were breached notified that they were?

Well, if the account had suspicious activity, then BL saw them, blocked them,
and contacted the real owners. Not necessarily easy to do for some of them who
had their e-mail compromised too (same password 🙄), but I know BL also tried
other ways and managed to reach and verify them.

Emails can be blocked from the sender and the ISP they are sending from by going
to your email online and choosing to block them. It will not block your legitimate
Bricklink emails because you are blocking the spam ones only.

I just block those pesky spam emails and move on with my life. Most of us have
been with Bricklink long enough that we can see fake emails from good ones and
if questions then ask and be sure to use the 2 part Authentication.

Also if you feel you have been compromised then change your password immediately!

It's a good question, Brian.

We've had three or four suggestions implemented over the years. The latest
of ours was in response to another topic foisted upon the membership:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1244764

I fight to keep this particular feature alive here on BL, and have for years.
Though I'll not stop fighting for the idea of membership involvement, I will
lose the battle if the idea is not maintained and kept strong within the membership
itself. And that idea can't endure if our voices are not loud enough to be
heard at distance

This feature along with the BL catalog, are at the focal
point of this vital sentiment that joins admin with membership, imho.

thats my question also. Most sellers have backups for inventory so its not that,
hacking a user who is on the form dosnt help as it means they are active and
any scam will likely be very public very fast and admins usually temp ban the

I'm not sure it is.

Since 2000 there always have been hack attempts (I guess), actual hacks (few
we
