Someone has tried to log into your account on FAOL BB with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

Dear dudley,
Someone has tried to log into your account on FAOL BB with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 117.176.54.32
got a note saying someone was trying to sign in my account with no luck. the email I got was dated 04/26/15.was on the road at that time
just got to my mail today
Thanks for the Heads Up.

A check shows that IP address is coming from mainland China. I discovered an email in my junk mail folder with an address based in Iraq. It appears they have us surrounded.Quote:

Is there some interchange between the forum and our e-mail addresses? I got a PM a while back, but just figured they were getting into FAOL. Do we list our e-mail address somewhere on the forum? Or are they just getting into our e-mail accidentally and finding reference to FAOL? I'm interested in the connection.
I got a couple of these notices this morning and both of the IP addresses traced back to China. The hacker did not get into my account, but they seem to be making a concerted effort to hack into FAOL. I really can't understand why?? Maybe this is just some sort of training exercise for the Chinese hacker institute???Quote:

I got the hack email message from FAOL sometime back and I see now Wildman has sent me a p.m.
It's nice to be one of the popular kids.
Thanks, Dave
