Product Security Update: Anti-Spam Bot Added in the Messaging Function

Last month, we have observed that one of our kontakme accounts had been getting email messages from random senders using the Kontakme email function in the Kontakme contact link. Our investigation led us to conclude that someone is using a spam bot to send spam using the Kontakme messaging form in the contact link.

Kontakme Contact and Follow Options

A spam bot or spam robot is a malicious program that is designed to automatically manipulate Internet forms to send unsolicited emails or perform other malicious activities. If you are getting random messages from the Kontakme messaging system, it is a sign that your account is also being targetted by the spam bot. Do not be alarmed, none of your security information (passwords) had been compromised. To stop the spam bot from sending unsolicited messages to your email, we added a reCaptcha feature in all our forms to prevent bots from gaming the system. The reCaptcha feature assures that any messages sent from your contact links are all coming from a real person and not from a robot. So far, we have observed that our affected Kontakme account has not received any random messages anymore after the implementation of the reCaptcha feature. If your account continue to receive random messages from the Kontakme Email System, do let us know ASAP. For those that were affected, we apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured that we have taken cared of the situation and will continue to be vigilant against spamming activities.

I'd like to share a simple and innovative way to make it easier for others to memorize and recall and manage your contact information. It makes use of readable URLs called contact links. It includes features that will allow the receivers of your contact link to conveniently store your contact information in their smartphones, tablets and computers or in an online address book called the Kloud Contact List. The best part of it is that, the contact links are easily memorized. As I like to say, "remember my contact link, and you will always remember how to contact me".

By signing up to the service, you become part of the solution for improving the handling of contact information. The basic service is free. You nor your intended receivers of your contact information do not need to download any special app. It works on almost all regular internet browsers and with almost any smartphone, tablet or computer. When you sign-up, I suggest you claim your personalized contact link before somebody else beats you to your favorite keyword. Do take note, Internet access is required.

Check out also our new services for property tagging and for pet owners. Try the services for free. For property tagging go to utagg.it . For pet owners, visit petsare.us .

If you experience any bugs in the website or with the service, please let us know as soon as possible. If you want other features or color themes to be added in the service, I will be happy to discuss it with you. I'm listening :-) ...
