fin Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hello All, Judging by the pile of e-mail I have this morning from all ask "what is up with this?" a large percentage of us received this e-mail: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear (username), Your account on Bomber Carving Community has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes. The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 216.255.179.130 Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/login.php?do=lostpw All the best, Bomber Carving Community ___________________________________________________________________ Someone set up a bot to try a bunch (maybe all?) our user names and try passwords for each. I have heard of this done on other forums as well. If they where able to log-in as someone I have no idea what they would do? Nothing stopping them from just registering as it is. Bottom line is this is not a threat to you guys and we have banned the IP address to at least stop them from try with that again. The system will not let them try more then 5 times before locking them out. Good thing. Odds are they did not succeed and have moved on to other forums on the internet. Just another ass-hat hacker with nothing better to do. For those who sent me e-mails asking "what's up" there you go. Too many to respond to at this point.

EnisiWaya Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 In engineering circles we used =to remark about those people desperately in need of a plexi-glass belly button to see where they where going. In fact at Hamilton Standard in Windsor Locks,CT we in the facilities engineering group often sent six inch diameter Plexi-glass belly awards to deserving individuals via the internal mail system. Heh heh heh! GWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
