Hacked account

[John findley]

Hi everyone just had an email saying that my password has been guessed incorrectly five time in a row so they have locked me account for 15 mins and have also given me an I.p address of who has done it does anybody know how to track the IP address to the culprit?

I had another this week John...I think pretty much everyone has been affected by it at least once. Loads of discussion about it on various parts of the forum but there does not seem to have been an official response from Admin.

In the case of whats going on here at NESA, its really nothing to be worried about, but people are of course understandably concerned when prats attempt to nick their details.

Thanks Liam!

I've sent Elton a pm to ask him if he can send out a global message to reassure members and offer some password security advice.
