Hi,

User tomas platz attached a pdf (119.pdf) to
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29332
This attachment seems to be a document that has nothing to do with programming (in freepascal or any other language).

It is either some sort of spam or maybe even something less harmless.

Can someone with developer status please remove this?

Removed!

We might want to keep an eye out in case it happens again though - the last thing we want is a bot or an incredibly bored troll clogging our bug issue system.

If this user's account was made on the same day as that post I would remove him.

I can't quite go that far unfortunately.  Being a developer gives me the right to delete attachments and modify posts, but not to tamper with people's profiles.

One of the managers maybe can look into it.

It seems that this was his only post in the bugtracker. (I filtered on "Note By")

Let's hope it stays that way!

or something much much much worse... they can hide malware in pdf files, ya know... you view the pdf document and don't even know the malware is doing stuff behind your back...
