HACKER ALERT! - stevehead - 11-09-2013
BEWARE OF THIS HACKER/FRAUDSTER
Name: Kelvin Lim
Paypal email: ircq@hotmail.com
IP: 175.145.98.4
He is a PES Pro user from Malaysia and has access to the MN forums - he has made repeated attempts (unsuccessfully) to hack our Paypal ipn to purchase add-on script items via the link in the forum mods section by using the Tamper Data add-on for Firefox to reduce purchase price to 0.01 (Google 'Tamper Data Firefox' if you need to know more)
We have reported this to Paypal of course. However as he has been on this forum I strongly suggest you all keep a close eye out for any Paypal payments for 0.01 and block the above IP. If you are selling other stuff from your websites using Paypal's own button please make sure you choose the encrypted version of the button which helps stop this type of fraud.
I hope that helps

We changed our process slightly and blocked IPs etc and no further problems, so no further updates.
