souldierz Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 No, not ever. For one, sending exe files in an email is a bad bad idea in the first place. Exe files get scanned and stripped by many email clients out there, even if there is no detectable virus in them. Good to know,if anything similar to this happens again I'll be all the more wiser as to what's taking place. I have Vista, so if i did go through with it, the Exe would have asked permission to access the internet and I would have known right there that there was something wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Gmail for instance doesn't allow exe files, and iirc I have that account given to Battlefront. I was surprised when I saw your site down, hope you fix everything soon. Bty when I got to your site and said it was under mantainance it asked for the username and password, I didn't dare introducing mine, that was yesterday march 24th. Yes, this was intended by us. We needed to exclude public access to the site while working on, configuring and debugging it. This will in fact probably happen several more times today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 No, not ever. For one, sending exe files in an email is a bad bad idea in the first place. Exe files get scanned and stripped by many email clients out there, even if there is no detectable virus in them. The email did not contain the *.exe. It was a one-part text-only message (no html) with no attachments, giving the link to the *.exe on Battlefront's server. It had two typical "Russian writes English" grammatologistics errors which could have given it away. No offense to the good Russian guys of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Actually, that's an interesting point. The email address that the email got sent to is not the one that receives the normal battlefront newsletter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 So was this the reason for the forum being down for much of yesterday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
