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.

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 changed my email address since my old one didn't work. Those times I was logged out, it seems somebody did try to log onto my account. Oh no, I hope they don't post anything without signing it "-TwisT"  :beg:   XD

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.
