Don't forget that some users on the Dutch vp never shared any information about themselves at all. The fact that this can happen on a website is a massive, massive security problem. Don't even forget that as soon as you get a message from someone and it includes a link or anything you can click on, your ip address might be logged.

Just the fact that anyone, literally anyone, can send mass spam to people and are able to even find information is just a ridiculous security problem. 

Like, someone can literally tell you ''please subscribe to my youtube channel!" and then send you a link, and if ur unlucky and you click on it, your ip can be logged and saved somewhere and through your IP-address you can find information about the person you're looking for. Not saying that the person who did this used a method like that, but still.

Even the fact that it's possible to SPAM users is ridiculous. I don't think it's very fun to get 100 messages in less than 5 minutes that sends you to ''hahahaha your cancer mother'' or 100 messages within 5 minutes with leaked information about people. It's disgusting and ridiculous that this is even possible to do.

Also, just one quick last thing. Do you really want to waste your money on a website that doesn't care about security and possibly have your information logged or tracked soon and shared all around vp?

the spamming shouldn't though

in addition, sharing your first name should not mean that you deserve your picture, facebook, other social media accounts, phone number and hometown to be shared to an entire server multiple times

Then it’s not a virtualpopstar issue if the info is not from here, duh

I get that you guys are upset, and you have every right to be so, but Shadowjess and our mods can only do so much. It's Kaj's responsibility to take action, and he is also the only person who actually can do it. What the spammer has done is beyond disgusting, but innocent people shouldn't be blamed

it's been said multiple times that the issue isn't that people share their info or that vp has a data leak, but that the spamming is not stopped even though it could be according to people who have more knowledge on online security than I do

Yes, but that's not a VP thing. You don't have your address or phone number in any way shape or forum associated with VP. 

Either way, we are looking into possible fixes to the issue, so it's not that nothing is being done about it. I've even offered to help out the dutch mods if needed. Things cant just happen overnight, and we will try our best to get this solved as quickly as we all can.
