      @kiokoman said in is pfsense forums hacked?:

      nothing to do with pfsense or netgate,

      I guess @ipfftw was asking : how did "zechstreets.com" obtained my mail address "pfsense@DOMAIN.CA".

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Hi @ipfftw !

          I do the same for most sites (with some exceptions)...

          I do have a pfsense@MYDOMAIN for this site and it has not been spammed yet, let's hope it stays that way...

          What was that email about, was it from a possible Netgate partner?

          As for the comment you made about removing part of the email it was HTML encoded in base 64, you can use one of the online base 64 decoders to look at it but it should essentially be the body of the email you received.

          As for how they got your email it does not necessarily mean this site or another Netgate related site was compromised, it could also be the mail server(s) involved in sending and receiving those emails (are you self hosting?) or the computer(s) you are writing/receiving those messages on...

          Good luck and have a nice day!

          Nick

            no it was about sunglasses, you can see the subject of the mail. Nothing to do with netgate.

            well post back if you get spammed too.

            answer to your question its self hosted ubuntu with autoupdate on. And its just a catchall domain, so its not like i actually wrote "pfsense@domain.ca" anywhere on the mailserver. I mean sure its possible someone hacked my email, but unlikely, as this would be the least of my worries...

            And they would spam with one of the real users on the host, not a fake alias that only is used for pfsense forums.
            im not super worried about it, just wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience. i obviously use a random password on every site so no problem with that. And i haven't received any login attempts with it as shown by my daily logwatch...

            just strange.

              @ipfftw Same here.. I use an email address for every forum I am on that is specific to them. Nothing here spam related on the pfSense email address as of this date.

                So i just started receiving spam to my pfsense address as well.
                I'm in the same boat as ipfftw, where i know that this address is used nowhere except pfsense related things.
                Somewhere something has been leaked.

                  two people could be random chance or something. Still i would be interested to see sanitized headers if you want to post them. see if there are any comonalities. Could be some kind of targeted spearphishing campaign. (because we are just that important... :P )
