Hello

Dear AsukaValentine,

All the best,
vBulletin.org Forum



With differents ip but the same e-mail.
It's someone trying to steal my username?

--------------- Added [DATE]1332950270[/DATE] at [TIME]1332950270[/TIME] ---------------

Some of the IP:
118.96.151.110
83.111.38.131
50.57.175.29
62.201.209.16
217.218.104.6
203.81.40.239
201.212.191.93

And many more...
The first mail its from 17.51 (in Spain) and don't stop!

I am currently receiving the same e-mail repeatedly. I haven't signed on to the site in a while, but it seems that someone is also trying to hack my account.

I received the e-mail 51 times in 16 minutes.

They did this last year also - Yesterday's brute force attempts at password hacking

Please make sure you do not use your username as your password. :)

... do not use my username either, it will be troublesome, i break computers in my spare times... rofl

Thanks! It stopped a few minutes ago. I'm not using my username as a password XD, but I'm going to change it again.
Today I received a similar e-mail from instagram too and I'm a little paranoid :___D

be paranoid, it's the best way to keep your accounts viable... a letting-go attitude would open too much freaky doors to pirates.

I am getting these emails as well.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 109.73.65.24
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 119.2.49.51

my password is pretty secure, letters numbers, caps and such

I got the same one, for IP 109.73.65.24.

Same here for me too:

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 109.73.65.24

Obviously someone is trying to attack vBulletin community.

These ip's are from known spam bots must be something new they are trying

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.

Nope, that is a UK IP.

no matter what country it is... he is not hacking my account, i'm fine... ROFL

Only because they haven't gotten to the letter V yet.

109.73.65.24
add that one to the list.. I got the same email at 2:15 today.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 109.73.65.24

I'm getting these also.

You, and 100 others (so far), have decided to let the vb.org webmaster know about this. Just a note to people, but I am not going to reply to all of you, sorry.

I've banned a couple of IPs for now also.

Good to know, thanks for being vigilant concerning thisl :cool:

i guess i was the among the first to get that email today as my username starts with 010081....

same email about account lock, also from the 109.73.65.24 IP.

Same here. IP Address is 109.73.65.24

-CPP

Ditto. 109.73.65.24

Bahahaha - Dude you are HILARIOUS https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Yeah sorry about that. I jumped the gun when I saw the message and thought I better let someone know. :)

Thanks- another IP to log if not listed already:

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 109.73.65.24

I sent an email about this also Lynn, sorry I did not look at new post first.
I love spammers....

Same has happened to me from this IP: 109.73.65.24

2 attempts on my account
88.85.125.76
109.73.65.24

5 attempts on me : a search reveals this Ip user has many hacking attempts.

I have sent an abuse report to abuse@redstation.com

I think we should all report these hackers as soon as we know about them.

The hackers of decent members and those who support them are among the lowest creatures on earth.

You can also report to abuse@ripe.net
This is the company that distributes IP's to Redstation, I reported to them both
