I have started getting phishing emails to the unique email address I supplied when I created my account here. I have seen this in the past when after SquareEnix and Garlic Jim's had their systems hacked.
I have been getting a lot of emails as well.
Is your email the same as your username?
I drink, yet you're the one in AA. :beer:
May I ask what kind of emails you are receiving? Like, what are they saying?
Also, make sure that the URL for these forums are forum.xda-developers.com. If it's different to that, it's possible you could be on a clone site, as we've seen plenty of them pop up over the time.

In my case the email was to [email protected]. So it is possible that somebody randomly guessed it but it seams unlikely.

The first email I revived using the xda login email address I provided was a phishing email saying that they were from Blizzard and that my Diablo 3 account was being investigated for fraud so I should login with the supplied links. Since I had not played Diable 3, I chose not to click the links
maybe you put your email on a thread on xda, and spammers found it??
My email is my username at Gmail. But their spam filter seems to catch everything. Why create an email just to use for xda unless you've been banned before and need another account?

While I don't know about anybody else, I for the most part utilize plus addressing. It tells me the source of SPAM and can be instantly black-holed.

Have a look here for some information regarding plus addressing with Gmail along with using dots in the username part of the address. Regardless of the method used, you can create a filter to auto-delete the specific offending address if its compromised; and, you know the where it was obtained if you use one or both of the methods to register a different e-mail at each Web site.

Worked fine for me when I just checked your profile and history and posts. It may have been a temporary issue.
I don't believe XDA has been hacked. I think it is more likely that a few people accidentally posted their email address in the clear and a screen scraper bot picked them up, or maybe they didn't realize their email contact info was shared through their profile.

It's saying that with me aswell but when I'm on the desktop site, it all shows fine. This slight errors are obviously just while the server side of things is getting sorted.

I had seen few users with "Account Currently Disabled" label which is not "banned". I am wondering if "Account Currently Disabled" is disabled by Mod/Admin or by the user himself.
.. and what is/are differences between Disabled and Banned account?
Thanks.
"Account Currently Disabled" is the same as "Banned", the admin's just updated the terminology to avoid a possible legal ramifications.
Ta,
Dave
Is there a way to find out y a guy was "Account currently disabled"ed?? But i doubt it.
Just out of curiosity....maybe a bit too much
Cos i came across one such acc who almost a year back was trolling...and getting on my nerves.
Anyway some1 banned can just create another account and enter xda again right?

To answer your previous question before you're edit, that "tool" is actually a vast number of different tools from many different locations and considering the amount of posts that get made the amount that remain visible for any length of time is remarkably small.
One senior mod alone wiped out 40 accounts and jeebus only knows how many threads in just one hour this weekend. What you guys actually see isn't even a tenth of it so I think we're doing pretty well considering.

Its still closed, invite-only beta.
I didn't get an invite (that I know of, anyway). I just tried to +1 something & it asked me to sign in with my Google account. That was at least a month ago. I haven't used it since though, just thought I'd get my foot in the door. I'm not big on social networking - the only thing I use is Facebook, and I only check that once a week.

That's what I was saying, I don't think I've ever gotten an invite, but it just let me sign in. This was a while back, so I don't know if it was open to everyone or if I'm just special. After signing in with my Google account, I had to answer some questions, and voila - Google + account. I do remember that directly after signing in, I got a notification that this guy I went to NC State with added me or whatever, so maybe he sent me an invitation or something?
Unless you're saying that you want an invite? I don't think that's what you're saying, but it's late and I'm braindead from work. I tend to get delirious when I haven't slept

There are some aspects of it that look like Facebook.
However, there are some aspects of Facebook that looked like Myspace.
All websites of social networking nature have similar aspects.
In fact, most websites in general have similar aspects.
There are plenty of things about Google+ that make it quite different.
Been trying for weeks to get an invite and never thought of using xda. One would be greatly appreciated if anyone has one going spare. Many thanks in advance [email protected]

I know similar questions have been asked before and information won't be easy to obtain from anyone regarding this but I know so many poeple have the knowledge to answer. I obviously don't want to use a subscription service but here is my dilemma.
Yes I am trying to spy, however I own both devices and pay for the entire bill just granting the phone for use as is to my current girlfriend, I'm not accusing her of cheating however she is hiding something and its all within the texts she deletes, those texts are transmitted to and from the device I allow her to use, just looking for any options I have aside from shelling out hundreds or thousands on something that can be easily accomplished, however if the information is sensitive I don't want it uploaded to the web, just more of a forward type of thing I suppose but definately hidden from her view, she isn't tech savvy, but our evos are both rooted and custom Rom etc. If anyone could help me with this, that would be super. App / software / source / service doesn't matter to me.
cool story bro, get a new girlfriend and leave the spying to the spy's. if you do not trust her, let her go.

Hit the nail on the head. If you know she is cheating get rid of her. Why would you want to put yourself through that BS only to get mad at her for something you already know. Once a cheat always a cheat. What are you going to do anyways after you confirm and confront?

Could he? He does own the phones and the contract is in his name. Should be able to do whatever he wants with the phone he's "lent" out, right?
A buddy of mine suspected his wife was cheating and she wouldn't admit to it. He decided to sift through her emails. He found she was, had proof, divorced her and is now happily married to a faithful woman. Just sayin.....had he not done that he would be far worse off. There's definately better ways to do it.....but every relationship and every person is different right?
That's weird, I thought he was asking for help with finding an app. Guess I missed the part where he asked for a bunch of relationship advice....

One of.this companies has to enlarge the file size that can be uploaded though most of my files exceed the limit. Does anyone have any recommendations.
I don't see what the friends feature does on here? Is it just for easy access to PM people? Doesn't seem much easier than just typing out the first couple letters to someone's name or replying to a message to me.
I know it's a noob question, especially for a Recognized Developer, and from someone with 3000+ posts, but I've always been curious about this.
