I got spam mail to a unique address I registered with xda-developers.
The address is not readable publicly and isn't findable in Google.
If anybody with the site is interested I can provide details.

Not sure we can help, but yes, send me a PM with the details.
We do not sell or otherwise distribute email addresses. email addresses can "leak" out from many places, from your PC and from contact lists on your phone. This is happening to an increasing extent on mobile devices: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/logging-test-by-treve-sassibob-review/
OK I sent you a PM but it doesn't show up in my PM Sent folder so if you didn't get it let me know here. I'm certain the compromise didn't come from my phone as the address I use is only for this forum registration and not any other purpose.

Received your PM and will have it looked into.
Also activated the option for you to have sent PMs saved in your sent mail folder.

Sorry but I dont understand why anybody would want to have their account deleted or go to the trouble of posting to get it removed?
If you dont wat to use XDA, wouldn't it be easier just to not visit?

Not mike, but I just deleted your account as per your request.
Quick question, what do all these THANKS mean and what happens when you reach a certain amount of them? Also, do you lose THANKS (points) if someone thanks you and gets their account deleted or that person gets ban?

Can you not read? If you can't read a few posts in this thread you might be better off having your account deleted. PM an admin.

Can any of the Admins look into this: I received spam on my email account that is only used to register for this forum. There must be a leak.

The admins have been monitoring on this thread: Forum Database Email Spam Compromise?
If you could please take a look there and see if your details match anything reported or if you might have some new clues to offer we would appreciate it. Thanks!
I received a phishing e-mail today to an address that I set up specifically for the xda-developers forum. I'm pretty sure I haven't given it to anyone else. Could there be a database leak?

Hello folks,
I registered here some time ago to ask some questions about xposed module development.
I got the answers I needed, completed the module, released it and updated it a few times since then.
Now I received an email that someone contacted me here via private message to ask some questions about this module.
Well I'd like to answer but I really have trouble navigating to this page.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I remember having problems using the correct subforums when I developed the module because I didn't have enough reputation/posts/whatever.
May this also be the cause for not being able to access the private messages section?

Make sure you don't have multiple profiles on XDA because the server may be seeing activity on multiple profiles from the same IP Address as well.
If this is some type of an ongoing account issue, you may need to contact @MikeChannon (an XDA Administrator) to help you out with some further investigation regarding your account.
This is about the best guidance I can provide you with myself...
Good Luck!

Thank you, the problem does not appear on my notebook, so I guess there really might have been some cache inconsitencies on the other machine.
Hey,
Ive just used the pw reset feature today,

The prompted message should NOT give any detail if the entered email is used in the db, or not!
That needs to be adressed imho asap!

What a mess in here... Instead of deleting this thread the mod decided to delete the post I made, after checking your reply, in:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...recommendations-for-xda-improvements.4300729/
... but hey, its actually not a recommendation, its a security flaw and therefor bug report. So maybe the mod was right to leave this thread. Still confused

This matter has been referred to those who can officially review and potentially change the way the process works.

I just fixed this by standardizing verbiage across both situations. Thank you for bringing it to our attention @GuestNoOne !
Lol. Mods thanking each other to gain more likes - while the one who brought it up doesnt get any.
That phenomen got a name and aint healthy...

We don't care about likes anymore, this is no longer significant at this point, for moderators at least. We are not chasing them.

Fixed! You got likes now, thanks!
Yeah that happens, I've seen moderators (myself included) affected by this situation as well, don't worry, e.g. a moderator posts a smart question or an interesting issue and only the other mod who answered got likes! This is not specific to non-moderators, trust me.
