brute force spam attack
 

If my old password for 'b6gm6n' is being used here then I'm sure yours is... change your password now as yours (if older than 3 yrs) is currently on a massive database being shared by criminals to spam this place and many other forums to attain funds which can be cleaned/laundered, so an old pass helps these people, change it...now.

quite the imagination :up:

You've heard of 'Liberty Reserve'? I doubt very much the people behind these attacks want some extra money few a new pair of shoes.... its coordinated, automated... my old password was gleaned via some method, but some years ago... btw, use an internet cafe? check the owners... in my town you see the corrupt places, lock-ins for rigged on-line poker, key-loggers on every machine in the cafe... used much later once sold on, 30p for an hour... bargain ;)

I just want to point out that if you were one of the people who got a message saying your account was blocked because of too many log in attempts, that actually means they didn't have your password, and probably still don't unless it was a simple password. It means they were guessing, not that they have a list of passwords from somewhere.

They'll never get mine, damn, it's so complicated i have to ask my kids what it is :)
