What to do if someone is trying to distributed brute force my account?
 

I recieved three e-mails within a minute of three different IPs being locked out for trying the wrong password on this forum...

I noticed the same thing on my account. I had to create this new account so i can post about it since i am unable to log in. The 3 emails i received are from IPs 78.x,200.x, and 219.x. When i do an IP lookup, these IPs is from Indoneisa, Argentina, and Czech Republic

I had the same 2 times. But I don't see any reason to mask the ip adresses of the abusive users:
94.228.204.2
and
178.213.33.129

But I'm not locked out which the mail says, because I'm always logged in.:)

However it's no good news when it seems people are trying to bruteforce accounts. Maybe somebody can do a good thing and put up some ip bans if they are not dynamic ip's.

I received a couple of emails too.

Both 114.141.50.11 and 125.167.233.138 are trying to access my account.

Here is the 3 IPs from the email:
200.117.239.246
78.41.17.230
219.83.101.234

Interesting they all of the IP address is different

A few minutes ago I received this notice in my email:
I'm glad the intruder didn't get in, because my password wasn't all that strong, but evidently strong enough... this time.

I have changed my password to something very strong now, and I'm only posting this as a heads up for anyone who either doesn't have a strong password, or thinks it's strong enough, or hasn't changed it in a while. It's time to check it out.

ear SpanishHarlem,

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: 194.44.172.18

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,

I got the same email just now

203.29.27.114
222.173.42.106
218.98.192.202

Here

I got one too from another IP. The IP resolves to Bangkok, Thailand. Looks like a bot might have been at work.
