Hey everyone,
Thank you for flagging this so quickly, it made a real difference. We apologize for the inconvenience and any concern this caused.
We've investigated and can confirm: these are fake accounts created on our online community to impersonate our forum admin team using misleading usernames. They do not have any actual access or permissions. Our real administrator community accounts are secure, and no admin systems were involved. This was the action of spam bots and we identified/removed the accounts involved.
If you received a DM in our community from one of these, please don't click any links or reply – just report it to us and delete the message. If you already clicked a link or shared any info, please let us know so we can help. Please note that some of your may have received an email notification "You have a new message" if you have it enable in your online community notification settings : https://community.native-instruments.com/profile/preferences
We've banned the forum accounts, banned the IPs, are tightening registration and DM permissions for new community accounts, and are working with our platform provider on further spam prevention.
Thanks again for calling this out and helping us keep the community safe.
