Multiple login attempts

[cgtdream]

Thanks for the heads up about the 5 failed login attempts at my profile. And though I may not use this site much, im glad this account was not hi-jacked, leading to possible problems for other members. Thanks the admins for such a good site.

Also this is the IP from which the attempts came from..

141.101.81.100

California apparently. .

had the same problem and email sent to me


"Dear Tones 1jz,

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 141.101.92.161"

On the bright side, at least we know our passwords work great!

I just got one also.

IP 162.158.93.156

Just received one from 94.242.246.23 which apparently is in Luxembourg, which is very popular for VPS's due to their relaxed laws on internet law enforcement etc.

Considering I posted in public forums today, I'd have a guess they are parsing the public section of the forums for usernames and using them to attempt to log in.
