Hacking me?

**1-thought** · June 19th, 2007, 06:00 PM

someone trying to hack my account here, what gives?

**-leo** · June 19th, 2007, 07:11 PM

Do you receive messages saying that "your account locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times?"

**1-thought** · June 19th, 2007, 07:15 PM

yes and it had an IP too, why whats up?

**-Kyle-** · June 19th, 2007, 08:36 PM

I'm getting the same e-mail every hour er so myself. its really getting annoying. can anything be done about this?
here's the ip address of the supposed hacker on my end.
70.86.138.114
I'm thinking its probably the same guy, but who knows. at first I thought maybe someone just had a similar user name, and thought he had mine. but I'm thinking that isn't the case anymore.

I'm getting the same thing, from the same IP.

i would warn some administrators about this. and also link them to this thread.

I've sent a pm to Pontemonti.

**0ink** · June 20th, 2007, 06:07 AM

Same thing happens to me. Same ip aswell i think.

"

hmm... maybe it's a bot or similar thing trying to log on. I've mailed ca admins, but no reaction so far. Still getting these mails with that IP.

**0shade0** · June 20th, 2007, 10:14 AM

same here!

good thing I looked here first before sending an email to the admins.
had like 5 mails already

**Farvus** · June 20th, 2007, 12:01 PM

From what I see here it happens to members who are at the beginning of the list. All with one, zero or "-" in nickname.

**0kelvin** · June 20th, 2007, 02:27 PM

Good catch Farvus.

I got the same email from an entirely different forum (one I signed up for years ago but never posted on) earlier today. Same IP and everything. Seems like the problem isn't just here.

**Farvus** · June 20th, 2007, 05:59 PM

I sense some irony, lol

**.unknown** · June 21st, 2007, 12:56 AM

This has also been happening with my account and I was wondering why?

**Coinpurse** · June 21st, 2007, 06:09 AM

well Farvus spotted a repetition in the names of people who were being attacked by this "hacker" who is obviously prejudice against numbers and signs

**Manuel Baum** · June 21st, 2007, 08:40 AM

lol, i dont think its prejudice, i just think the bot or whatever is going through the whole userlist alphabeticaly.

Lately someone is tryng hard to use my account too.
In the few days I received about 15 log-emails like this:

>Dear .:Itrill:.,
>Your account on ConceptArt.org Forums 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: 72.233.34.186
>Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:
>http://www.conceptart.org/forums/login.php?do=lostpw
>All the best,
>ConceptArt.org Forums

the ip is the same every time... is there anything I or the admin should do about it? Luckily my password is not easy to guess but it's kind of annoying! é_è
