Nearly all, if not all, of the spam we get is sent by ‘bots’…. computer scripts or programs that seek out forums and other sites where a user can post information.
Unfortunately, most of the spam bots ‘live’ in Eastern European countries… and/or many unwitting people from these countries have computers infected with these programs which might run without them noticing.
So, we are not being targeted for any specific reason. The fact that the forum exists at all and has security holes is enough for them to post.
