  • someone tried to log on as me today and failed

    Why did someone try to log on as me today and failed to crack my password? Why would someone want to do that? Wierd?

      Petal - did it have the ISP address in the email that told you?

      If so, let us know and we can get it blocked. PM me the details and I'll pass it to the admin bods.

        Perhaps it wasn't malicious. I'm Bluemoon on every forum I'm a member of (about 5) except one where someone already had taken it, so I had to think of something else. I always try and log in as Bluemoon there though and it's only when the password doesn't work that I remember that I'm somebody else.
        Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

            Yeah, I'm with Bluemoon's idea. Petal is a pretty common online forum name and it was likely a mistake.

              I have to disagree.....Petal would only get the email alerting her once someone has tried [i think it is] 5 times.

              Once your password is rejected twice, you tend to think - 'hang on a minute.......'

                  You get an email saying some has tried to log in to your account and failed.

                  If anyone else has had one, please let us know. We do occasionally get them.

                      As a somewhat malicious "joke", to post something offensive under your name and get you into trouble with the mods?

                            I suspect it's a genuine mistake although it wouldn't exactly surprise me if it was done with some sort of malicious intent. For spamming purposes there are much easier and efficient ways to fish for e-mail accounts.
