Hello John and all,

I agree with you John. Removing member emails seems?like a good idea.

I reviewed the websites of the Sullivan and Pacific clubs, they do not display email addresses.?

Sure you can still get that address by looking up a call sign on FCC's website, but some hackers may not know that so let's not make it easy for them.? Bruce (N0XNH) keeps the master copy of the roster.? I guess if anyone needs details like that they can ask Bruce for a copy.

Out of curiosity I searched Google for 'amateur radio club rosters' and did quickly find another roster containing email addresses.? I thought about contacting that club's president and passing on what we experienced but I'm just not sure.

Anyway, I hope none of our members fell victim to this attack.

I think it is safe to say that Greg Ballard’s email account has been hacked. He should report it to his email provider,(don’t use email to report it) and change his email address and credentials as soon as possible. First he should run a high quality virus scanner on all of his email connected devices.

Most antivirus programs have free trails so he could try one of those. I have used Malware Bytes for years and never had a problem except when I didn’t put it immediately on a new computer and got zapped. I am a tech and it took me an hour to get my new PC working again. I was lucky, I have seen much worse. Hope this helps. Ed AD0OI
