about 95% of all email does not get delivered. Cause its spam or virus infected. It was probably picked up by high level filters or your providers before it got to you. Its also possible they hackers only got part of the DB

The following email has been sent out to all members. If you didn't get it, it's because you don't monitor the email address that you used to sign up here. Please note:
Hi All,​

​
I was really hoping that the next email blast that GTAM would be sending out would be our 2014 Season.​

​
Unfortunately, due to the site being hacked/compromised recently, I'm sending out this email to advise you that it happened, for those that might not be aware and to ask you to be safe and change any passwords that you have for other sites.​

​
Possible compromised information includes: email address, user name and profile information that you filled out.​

​
We are working diligently at ensuring the site is fully updated and protected and also working with our server to ensure all the necessary protections are in place. We are hoping to avoid any major changes, but please be aware that it might be necessary to purge the database if we can't locate the source of the infection.​

​
We will do everything in our power to ensure the GTAM is safe and secure. Sincere apologies for any inconveniences.​

​
See you in January at the show!
​

We have been working very diligently at resolving and fixing this issue. If you have specific questions or concerns, please email myself at cutekill@gtamotorcycle.com or paul@gtamotorcycle.com and we will respond to you immediately.

"To Whom it may concern,

I received the attached email from Amazon.com

Please delete my account and all payment related details.

I will await confirmation that you have done so.

Google "phishing scam" - no one has your payment details..... they are trying to GET them - if you are dumb enough to click the link and put in your email and password....then you should change your password with the REAL amazon.com immediately!

the real amazon has my payment details....and no, i didn't not click the link. The above email was sent to 'stop-spoofing@amazon.com'...

btw you shouldn't jump to conclusions before you go around calling people "dumb"
 
You guys better get your act together. This is getting ridiculous. It's been, what 6 times now? I have never seen a site get hacked so many times. You better change a provider or pay to get better protection or you may find people may want to start lawsuits over lost and compromised info. So pathetic.
 
Will the gtam booth be providing free antivirus software at the show this weekend? Or even save the tax on Norton etc?

Generally you cant delete an account on a forum an admin would have to do it for you. But how would you have known this was going to happen?

It's the forum software. Anything from 4 on is crap and full of exploits. Internet Brand is more interested in making money than a good product. They probably hacked the site through the Install directory exploit. vB sent 1 email out about it to software owners, maybe Paul missed it. Even the vBulletin site got "compromised" and sent email to all software owners that their account passwords were changed! Quality!!

I got a fake paypal email. I'm thinking this forum is the source of this since I've never had one of these before.

Me too the list of emails was probably sold or farmed by scammers following the data breach. Just report the phishing emails to the relevant email addresses and delete them. I also got one for my apple account.
