It doesn't even really need to be long. It can be long and be deciphered. What it needs is a random combo of caps, lowercase and numbers. And even better if you can include special characters.

I installed it, tweaked it, and never looked back.

I've gotten well over 100 this morning alone. It's all good to say "don't worry", but when you're getting craploads of emails about it, it's definitely annoying. One would think the makers of the forum software would be better prepared.

Same here, about 150 emails in the past hour. I haven't been on this site in years. Does anyone know how to delete your account here? Is it possible, because I looked and couldn't find it anywhere.

thanks and good luck.

Better prepared for what exactly ? The software is doing its job.

People who use OOB software and call themselves entrepreneurs want everything in one big package. Most are disappointed though when they discover that websites are not Chia Pets. You don't just add water and watch it grow. You actually have to do some work and know what you're doing.

I've received 56 in the last 4 days as well. Is there no way to stop these e-mails other than labelling them as spam?

Here's a quick question, guys. Why would you NOT want to know that someone failed hacking into your account, considering the prevailing attitudes towards websites who never tell them anything about what they do behind the scenes?

99% of SPAM comes from China. I have no reason for anyone in China to view any content on my servers, so I block all Chinese IP space at the firewall level.

The current IP list by country is available from ARIN or here: http://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/cn.html

I get maybe one or two a month at this rate and ASL blocks the IP of any suspicious activity forever.

Just got 10 e-mails saying my account was locked.

Like Paul said, though, if you have a strong password, there's nothing to worry about.

EDIT: Just got more. XD
