Account locked?

Would be helpful if vBorg also captured the offender's user agent string and sent it in the email as well - for those of us who use the "ban spiders by user agent" mod.

Is there a way to just delete my account? I no longer participate in the VB community and would rather just remove this vector of internet from attachment to me.

Add 117.164.9.166 as they tried again tonight. I will be glad when this OpenSSL issue is addressed.

I am too getting a lot of emails from the past, that some one is trying to loginto my account, can you keep my account in safe place.

Just found this thread after I got about 10+ emails saying my account was locked out.
All IPs are different and from all other the world, so looks like some kind of botnet.

I originally thought... No... My precious myself thought this attack is directed to me only, but after finding this thread I realized that I'm no special. Good.
So it seems like this is just a silly bruteforce to get a hold for some forum accounts to post spam, etc.
Nothing special, no mystery, no hidden kittens. Oh, well.

That's completely unrelated to this and is also not a vbulletin issue. The heartbleed exploit is not a brute force password cracker.

If you're concerned about site vulnerability to the heartbleed SSL issue, test it here.

Remove your email address from the account via UserCP, then log out.
