I realize this isnt relevant to this forum btw, but no where else an unlicensed member can post that I know of.

Happened to me as well 2x earlier. I logged in and also updated the password.

Ditto, 3 tries in the same minute from Bulgaria, Italy, and Brazil based upon the IPs. Password was already pretty secure, but just to be safe I changed it to a REALLY long (randomly generated) password.

KeePass FTW :)

Yup, same thing about an hour ago.

Your account on vBulletin.org Forum 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: 60.28.212.184

Ip shows China.

Strange, someone tried to access my account 3 times - each time failing. About 45 minutes ago.

I.P's used were:
78.41.17.230
222.124.5.82
200.117.239.246

Well, they can carry on trying - since I use alpha-numerics with symbols.

I just checked my password on http://passwordchecker.co.uk/ its states 100% strong! ;)
