Title: ''Failed login attempt''
Post by: HELLY BOY on February 28, 2011, 05:32:12 pm: Hello there,

Today I received a couple of messages (5-7) that said my login failed. I do not know what that should mean, since, well I'm always logged in on the forums, and I heard of some hackers wanting to hack someones account? Any help would be appericated.

Don't be paranoid as everyone here is, what's the probability of someone guessing your pass? Hmm, 0,00001 % ?

Well, when you get about 20 messages of the failed going attempt, then there's a possibility...
Also, could managers trace the IP or something? Would be nice to see it banned :D

Seriously guys, this is not a movie where you hack using 3 button presses, those ppl are probably amateurs guessing your password
As long as you aren't retarded to set your pass the same way as a nickname, you won't ever get 'hacked'

of all messages that come to you if you look only find 2 or 3 times the same ip, the often change so you will not discover

The emails are part of the forum security. Once you start getting them, I suggest using a stronger password.

Post by: Louis_Keyl on March 05, 2011, 11:01:46 am: I haven't received any of those messages ever... Except when i forgot my pass :(

Anyways just make sure your password gets to be uncrackable (Even that any password can get cracked by real experienced hackers.... you can only make it harder :P)
