We don’t know that. The most we know and can say is the person who registered
chose Ukraine for the country field.

That's not even close to what I was referring to: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1423027
|
Sorry, but then it's very certainly not a person from Ukraine, who
as a majority have very probably something better and more urgent to do than
attempt to hack a LEGO items site

You never know, just because he lives in Ukraine dosen't mean he is not bad.
Bad people are everywhere!

All of it started fairly shortly after all of the extremely unpopular part merges
started to actually occur. I have a strong feeling that a user here that was
very upset about the decisions made is having some "fun" at BrickLink's
expense.
|
Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.
As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.
|
Does there happen to be a plan in the works to stop this activity?
|
Yes. In fact, most of what is being done to prevent this type of fraud is being
done behind the scenes, and BrickLink members are not aware that it is happening.
|
What percentage of spam would you say has been stopped behind the scenes?

Good to know. Let's just hope that our beloved BrickLink can make it through
largely unscathed. I am sure I am not the only one that doesn't want a repeat
of November 2023 to happen, but everytime someone falls for one of these things,
we get closer to that happening again. I do feel bad for those getting targeted,
but people need to be cautious.
