exile360 Posted January 4, 2021 ID:1430443 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm seeing several users posting duplicate threads within the last hour or so and I suspect it may be due to an issue of some kind with the forums. Here are the examples I've noted so far, though there may be more (some have already been hidden at this point): https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268772-a-wacatac-trojan-residing-on-an-ejected-flash-drive/https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268773-a-wacatac-trojan-residing-on-an-ejected-flash-drive/ https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268770-please-unblock-httpsscenicbywaysinfo-and-httpsliftieinfo/https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268771-please-unblock-httpsscenicbywaysinfo-and-httpsliftieinfo/ https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268766-random-win10-agents-corrupt/https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268767-random-win10-agents-corrupt/https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268768-random-win10-agents-corrupt/https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268769-random-win10-agents-corrupt/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted January 4, 2021 Author ID:1430454 Share Posted January 4, 2021 These two were replies posted in one of the above duplicate topics which themselves are also duplicates: - https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268773-a-wacatac-trojan-residing-on-an-ejected-flash-drive/?do=findComment&comment=1430434 - https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/268773-a-wacatac-trojan-residing-on-an-ejected-flash-drive/?do=findComment&comment=1430435 Perhaps it's due to some sort of sync issue?

David H. Lipman Posted January 4, 2021 ID:1430470 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) The issue has been reported to Administrative Staff as well as a noted Forum Caching issue which may be the cause of the duplicate posts. Note the "-1" in the Blue Circle. The caching issue affects posts, PM's and the display of Logged-In members on the Main Page and Browsing in a particular thread. I sent the Administrative Staff a PM on this issue and when I looked at my PM List, the PM I had just sent was not there. It took >12 minutes for that sent PM to show up in my PM List.
