Question

`forums.asp.net` Spam Hacked

Hello, I am reaching out to inform you (for a SECOND time) that via the google search "site:asp.net hack", you will find that there are up to 4,310 web pages with malicious contents hosted on your website, mostly on the subdomain forums.asp.net. The following links are also malicious as per my statement prior, and have been surrounded by quotes in hopes to not let unfamiliar users click them. Note these are three (3) links from the first page of Google results, but there are hundreds more using the keywords previously provided:

Just because something is using the word "hack" doesn't automatically mean the content is malicious.

After a cursory look, most of the pages I have seen are about defending against hackers, which is a completely legitimate topic.

Some of the pages are to user accounts, whose names suggest they are spam accounts that link to malicious content. But none of them have any posts, so I'm assuming moderation already took care of those posts and the accounts themselves are harmless.

In conclusion, I haven't found any evidence of actual malicious content based on the information in your post.

It seems the bios on those accounts have been removed, thus removing and links that were present in their user account page. The links I posted were not direct links to malware, or malicous files themselves. So yes, it seems moderation has intervened. The user account names were not my concern. None of the accounts mentioned had any posts at all, it was their bio.

While discussions may be moving the site itself is not supported here on QnA. I'd try asking for help here in dedicated forums.

I was told by Microsoft Support (via https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contact/chat/30) to post this here. I will be posting it there. Once I do, I will mark this answer as accepted.

Regardless, the site itself is not supported here on QnA. I'd try asking for help here in dedicated forums.
