AMC would like to say sorry to anyone who was Spammed, and we are sorry.
OK just to update everyone as to what happened. Someone hacked one of our backup servers and used this to spam webmasters, and also to spam children.
We first off would like to apologize to anyone who has gotten this spam on our behalf, we shut that box off and it has stopped. Our abuse department is working with SpamHaus to try and trace this person so we can take the proper steps to prevent this from happening.
Being a program people are going to screw with you, it?s part of the game, people can spam webmasters all the want to generate complaints and to bring heat on us, we can deal with that. But, when the person goes out of their way to actually send mail to known Children?s e mail addresses does not hurt just us, it hurts the entire industry. I am not sure who in their right mind would actually mail a child just to make someone look bad that is very sick and twisted.
We were not blaming GFY itself for this and we also apologize to Lens and team if it came across that way. Ever since yesterday we?ve taken some heat, and also gotten mails from GFY members saying they are going to make our lives hell, this is where that assumption came from.
Either way we are working to find who this person is. And we are sorry for anyone this affected. People can flame all they want, that?s what most do on here so go ahead say what you want.
Thanks again to Juicy links for working with us on this. We will update you on anything else that come up.
Once again cheers Juicy we owe you a fleshlight and a realdoll.
