A Chinese IP address tried to log in as me here, and so I suspected military "Hegemon" motives.

But perhaps not, maybe they are just crooks trying to steal industrial secrets or anything of value. Sorry you were nearly victimized but happy that it's not just me.

Someone used a Thai address to try to get into my account this morning. These are often proxy servers and you can never really know where the real culprit is.

Long passwords are much harder to guess than short complicated ones.

e.g. It would take more effort to crack "123456789abc" than "!J9dh78X#".

But I don't recommend you use "123456789abc", either.

I just had the same. To the site, ignore my email. It appears that this was a coordinated attack from the Phillipines (the IP shows as 222.127.126.218)

Yup, I haven't posted here since 19 Mar 2008, same thing, lol. No luck on their part though, I just updated my password anyhow.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
