Someone trying to brute my account
A dedicated server box out of The Planet @ Dallas with the IP 174.132.178.37 tried to brute my account here, as I received an email notifier about my account being temp locked due to multiple login fails from that address, I'm sure they've tried other users, this might be a bot that may have to be banned or monitored to make sure it doesn't get a spam account in. __________________ Dragonfly, Dragonfly, take me on your wings and pierce the illusions binding my life...

Me, too. Keep your passwords cryptic, folks. __________________ ~~~~~~~~ "If you can't be nice, at least have the decency to be vague." |

yes, good advice. Don't use any common passwords, like your user name etc. In fact I read somewhere that there are very common passwords and that hackers know this. __________________ Either the Darkness alters, or something in the sight Adjusts itself to Midnight, And Life steps almost straight. ~ Emily Dickinson |

I searched the forum and this IP address is not being used by any members here, its someone external trying to crack in. I just wanted to clarify that, in case anyone was wondering if it was anyone here. Hopefully they go away soon! __________________ The Book of the LOL II:76. 1 3 3 7 Z O M F G W T F B B Q R O T F L M A O S T C 7 3 3 1. WTF iz dis, O proffit?

I got the same email too, so I've banned that IP address from accessing the forum at all. I'm glad everyone here seems to have had nice secure passwords! __________________ - Aeclectic Tarot - |
