I just got one with the same IP also. This is the first time this has happened for me.

We get them every so often, and the software does what its designed to do and locks the account for a small period of time.

just got this..

first time locker for me :o

I got two today.

186.88.141.224
109.73.65.24

I also am getting the lockout notice. Good thing I never log out.

If your password id a good password you have nothing to worry about- the vBulletin software and the 15 minute lockout prevents "brute force" attacks from being successful.

They are probably trying the 5 most common password such as:

1) your username
2) password
3) 1234
4) 12345
5) 123456

If you password is any of the above (or close to it) you should change it to a real password ASAP.

Whew! Good thing I use passwrod for my password. ;)

Same here. Twice so far. 115.124.77.49 and 109.73.65.24

I'm getting the same thing. I'm glad I found this. Sorry to the webmaster for the extra email spam :)

Lol!! These losers need to get a life. Or a real job. I was just blogging yesterday about how scammers are targeting web developers now. It is ridiculous the various ways people have tried to scam me over the last few years.

I just got it from 109.73.65.24. That's a spanish IP address, apparently.
