Member questions & answers[^]
No activity since 2015. Then, in the last two days, three new solutions to old questions, all recommending the same commercial library (Dynamsoft Barcode Reader).
Definitely smells like spam to me.

The spam is older than that. So I wouldn't say it is hacked.
Look at his / her article and the first message in the board.
Webcam in C#: Easiest Way to Capture Images from Your Webcams[^] (costly library with 30 day free trial)
Just saw that there is a second article: Scan Barcode from a Webcam in a WinForm/WPF Application[^] promoting the same library
90% of all other answers [^] were pointing to one of the articles. Additionally are answers to a lot of questions that @Sean-Ewington closed long ago (by the way, the list could use a clean up)
there are 5 or 6 that might actually be useful / have no dodgy links.

Both articles are in the "Produce Showcase" category. Isn't that supposed to be reserved for sponsors?

The section has no security, not the first time there are intruders.
That's why I have suggested a couple of times to have a badge for the sponsors or some sort of security that makes easier for us to identify them without error.
@Sean-Ewington would you mind to step by and have a look?

A tricky situation. Thanks for the catch. I've de-activated the account and removed all the messages.

The site shows Cyrillic and the guy is from Belarus...
can it be that is the same author?
It would still be wrong, because he could have feed the blog. but it wouldn't be an nuking offense.
@Sean-Ewington would you mind to step by?
additionally this is another live example for @Matthew-Dennis in this case the link I would use as correction for the report would be the #2 in the revisions history.

Unfortuneately (for me?) without any posts in the New Article queue ... having dropped no breadcrumbs this morning on my way into the moderator's forest ... I've no way to check the post.

Literally, "would be" unless there was some way to type an additional "#2" on the URL ([^]) that I don't know about.
Get the cool guy with the Vuarnets (see array of sonsors to the right) to see if he can do something with it?

You can't see the revisions history the way I can.

There is...
from: ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=XXXX&aid=YYYY
goes to: ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=YYYY&av=ZZZZ
but I don't know the maths behind the versions algorithm to know the values for ZZZZ (XXXX and YYYY are already in the first link). So I can't tell you how.

Ha!
"Пользователь" translates to "user" ...
So, my feelings stand ... plagiarized  <--(they're Ray-Bans not Vuarnets)

The post is a verbatim copy+paste without big edits or corrections, so I tend to plagiarized too.
But the problem with the links is something happening for a while and already reported[^]) and I would like to wait for @Matthew-Dennis or @Chris-Maunder to have a look in a live case. That's why I am not posting the corrected link to nuke the article yet.
