Failed log-in notification

[Deleted member 5985]

Just thought I should probably let you guys know as it is a little strange and in case it becomes a common trend or something. I haven't been on here for a while and got this email at 5am last night that the IP address 59.184.180.197 had tried 5 times to get into my account and failed. I did a quick IP locator search and it said the address is from Mumbai.

Cheers,
Rick.

Likely to be outside influences trying to log into users accounts manually to access the site to spread spam. Difficult to prevent it to be fair, as they are simply sat in front of computer tapping in password guesses.

Just ensure your passwords are strong, with a mix of letters and numbers, if someone takes control of an account it would be fairly easy to spot, and we can take back control.

That is you, Mark, isn't it?

If the correct response is Yes, then Yes its Mark.

If I start typing prices for viagra and penis enlargement offers, then its time to be afraid.

Good answer, a hacker from Mumbai would have just said ''Yes'.
