Getting Spam from Post Threads! ? Hacked FORUM?

[jefferis]

After my first post on this forum, I started getting spam posts that "appear" to be follow up comments to my original post. However, when I to the thread, these spam posts are not there in the thread. They look like they are coming directly from CC. Since my email address is not in my profile, How are they getting this to me? Have they hacked the email notification system? Or are they posting and then immediately deleting the posts, so that I get a notification sent?

Here's a sample:

Hello, sorry about this. Nothing has been hacked. Our forums have been massively spammed over the last week or so and you will have received notifications to your posts which we will have since deleted. On Friday we upgraded the forums to the latest version which will hopefully stop spamming however it may continue. The image verification system powered by google is pretty much useless these days even though it is still considered the best available.
