I recieved an email couple days ago saying someone tried to log into my account 5 times. I got an I.P. address and I would like to notify a mod.
Question.
If the hacker tried 5 times to log in it would appear that he doesn't have the OP's genuine password in the first place so there's no real threat to their account, yes/no?
Also, just postulating here, is it possible that maybe another user with a similar username typed in the op's username by accident, didn't notice their error and then went on to then type in his own password which wouldn't work?
To me, those sound like more likely scenarios then an actual bad guy trying to hijack an account.
Cheers!
Yep, all attempts so far have been from China. Change your password to something more complicated if you haven't already done so.
Yeah, mine was a bit loose. It was Ga0Q8z[]123Xb7o8, but I changed it to bob. No one will ever figure that out.

Why would anyone hack this site? Just for practice?
