Someone trying to log in on my account

[sgallas2]

Hi Folks,
I just got a notice that someone has been trying to log into my account here. Anyone else have this happen to them?
Seems like an odd thing for someone to do. Other than making inappropriate posts I'm not sure I see the benefit for anyone to do this( and you'd have to be pretty darn disturbed to see that as a benefit).Am I missing something?
Best,
Steve

Funny - who did you get a notice from? Maybe that is the scam?

[sgallas2]

yes, I entertained that possibility but it said it came from webmaster @FAOL( my abbreviation). I was just curious if this was a relatively common occurrence but also wasn't sure why anyone would want to.

And is Mr. Tidd our Webmaster?

Steve,

I hope you didn't give that 'webmaster' any info, like passwords and such.

I had exactly the same message last week. Couldn't think of why anyone would want to or benefit from doing that, or how it could hurt me, so I ignored it.

Phishing on a fishing site (I wonder if it would be called Phlyphishing?)

Phishing on a fishing site.....great!
No i did not give out any info but was just curious.
Cliff, thanks, that's also what I was curious about, whether anyone else got one. makes phishing seem all the more likely.
Thanks guys

It would be called phisporn.

This happened to me too. Just logged in through the site and changed the password. Have not seen any other signs of other issues, but I am on the lookout for anything else weird that may come up.
