Changing subject but it looks like DZ's or the FNRttC contact list has been hacked. I got a personally addressed email purporting to come from the standard fnrttc email address but actually from a Japanese domain and linking to a hacked Russian site. Be careful.

Nasty. Can you confirm exactly which email address it seemed to come from?

@StuartG could you please confirm which email address this came from? The old one (DZ's) is/was fnrttc@yahoo.co.uk; the new one is fridaynightridetothecoast@gmail.com (which only myself and @mmmmartin have access to). Thanks!
ETA: Also, since 1st August, the only emails going out to the entire mailing list are coming from the gmail one, sent by me. If the bad one you got came from somewhere else, then the mailing list is still safe, on my PC at least. Once you've clarified, we can alert DZ if necessary. Thanks again.

It was the yahoo one for DZ. I've been pruning my spam folder and found about half a dozen identical ones from different people which, of course had their own contact addresses. The weird thing is they are all cycling related contacts. One suspects the infection has come from a cycling related resource which could be the fnrttc itself as that connects the contacts. Its therefore impossible to know which one is the source. Have a look in your own spam folder - Gmail was very good at trapping them.
They are of the form "From [Purported senders name]":

Good afternoon [contact name]
[pharma spam link]
[Purported senders name]
Sent from my iPhone

And DZ is still a Nokia man I think ...

I've had one of those as well. But I've also had one purportedly from someone who's never been on an FNR and wouldn't be on the same database.

Aha. I've had lots of ones similar to that, purportedly from several email addresses, one a good cycling friend, the rest strangers. The yahoo address is DZ's. No idea how to get to the root of it. I guess all I can say is, keep those spam filters switched on!

Funnily enough this morning I had a very nice confirmation email from the very nice people at the very nice NEW sparkling destination planned for Friday 20th May 2016. They're looking forward to feeding 50+ hungry cyclists on the Saturday.
Oh, and just before arriving at the final destination, we go fairly near to a castle which isn't a castle (not Arundel), perfect for @martint235 to completely ignore. Whilst having breakfast and enjoying the splendid scenic views, you can also see it (or not).

Castle which isn't a castle? Sounds familiar- but then my home town has one too!
