I just changed pages and I got logged out. This is the second time today it has happened. It's never happened before today... I haven't gotten an email from AcidMods. Although I don't recall ever getting an eMail from AM.. So who knows.

Added:.

Well I figured out why I haven't received an eMail. It's linked to my yahoo eMail which hasn't worked for years. >.<;'

So somebody could have tried my password, although nothing appears to be changed.

Matt is already aware of this attack, I'm sure him and the other admins will work things out asap. I guess all you can do until then is ensure your password is as strong as possible.

Yeah they know. It was talked about in the shout box earlier. The site does have security and we have capable admins running things. There is no need to worry ladies and gents.

had 2 of these yesterday too whats up with that lol

Modded Matt · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:10:56 AM »

ok, you guys have seen whats going on, obviously. Unfortuantly, these ip addreses are proxy accounts with no real way to trace them. site security atm is very tight. so the only way to hack the site is through a admin or mods profile. this dosnt explane why they are attacking members, but there is not much I can do other than to protect your password. make sure its alpha numeric and case sinsitive

there is also a login security measure in place for all admin that restricts site access from un approved, pre determined ip addresses. you should be able to find this in your profile, I sugest any local or global mods set this up.

If I had to guess, I would say its a bot that is trying to guess passwords as the users log in/come to the site. every time a new member gets hit the bot trys logging in under the new name.....what would be the point if they logged in as crazy, what could they do? erase your sig...oh no...

I got two of these this morning.

Traced a couple of the addresses on this page and they seemed to lead to private computers. Not entirely sure though.

But I am sure that the cracker/s (they do not deserve to be called hackers) are using common passwords to try to access accounts.

If you password is only a word or name, change it now.

Make sure:
- There is at least one symbol or special character
- There is at least one Upper Case Letter
- There is at least three numbers that do not relate to your personal information e.g. Date of Birth
- Update your security question so the answer does not make sense.

This is being worked on. And AM has pretty wicked security from what I've heard. So no need to worry. If you want to make double sure then make a case sensitive password with numbers and special characters like "!"

ok, two pages of post is probably enough.

official,
there is someone or something trying to gain access to the site through peoples account. unfortunatly, there is nothing we can do about this. we cant stop it, control it, or slow it down. The more and more popular the site becomes the more of this we will have to deal with. All we are doing by maintaning a thread like this is giving the so called hacker the attention he wants.

the good news is the site is secure!!!

I am tyred of seeing this as the most recent post, and i am sure new members or potential members are being scared away after seeing this topic.
