Someone trying to hack me
 

I keep getting emails saying my vbulletin.org account has been locked. 4 today.

It's showing the the IP's from Asia.

Should I worry?

Same here.....

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: 109.73.65.24

I am guessing they are doing a reverse brute force maybe?

As in rather than loading 1000's of pws, they load 1000's of usernames and run 5 pw's on each username?

I had this a little earlier today as well

same here ,scared the #$# out of me ,first that stupid base64 redirect crap on my board ,now this what up with them idiots!

Just happened to me as well. I logged in and changed my password.

The IP was 109.73.65.24 ... Shows it's from the UK.

Same here.

Same IP as Dannyloski..

I just got this as well.

IP is 109.73.65.24

Got two of those myself today, same IP.

Yeah, they are running a list of usernames against 5 passwords :O Probably harvesting them from the forums.

me too....2 emails already.

IPs: 109.73.65.24 & 178.48.2.37

Just got the same thing here:

Edit: just saw the other post above me, posted at same time. ><

Same.

3 emails from 122.72.112.148
122.72.2.200
212.233.140.161

Same ip address 109.73.65.24

I'm getting the same... I have spoken to the hosting company that host the IP address and very hassled man said that he's been getting call non stop about it. He said that they are looking into it and trying to stop it. 109.73.65.24 as for the other thats in Hungary....

A

i am glad that they did not find my password , its 12345 its so easy no one will even try that

Yeah I have had the same problem! I haven't even used the forum for years!

Same email and here

Ripe Database gives

Same here:

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

hostname: 24-65-73-109.rackcentre.redstation.net.uk

Ok so it's not just my account which is being hit.

Who ever is in charge of vbulletin.org should block the IPs using .htaccess by adding the following to it:

deny from 109.73.65.24

Everyone else here who has access to their .htaccess file should do the same on their site too just for precautionary reasons.

hum, CAG, i think they handle it pretty well...
