Hey, so recently I've had to cope with spambots until recently they just stopped, then started random accounts appearing with the Host name of localhost, and several different IP adresses:




Is my forum being hacked, or what is going on?

The IP Backtraced to Vietnam, but my servers are in the Netherlands, so they can't be running from the same server..

I don't think you're getting hacked. You should still check with your host to make sure your server is locked up tight and change all your passwords just in case. Apart from that I'd just continue to ban them as you're currently doing.

I apologize that no one has replied thus far. I hope you're forum is still doing well.
