Someone trying to "hack" CP accounts?

Just a wise word to all. I recommend everyone has a password on their CP accounts which is difficult to guess. It appears someone out there is disgruntled, and tried hacking into three member accounts last night. The timing is quite intriguing... This same person, known as "the_truth" was banned last year for flaming a member. A new member just signed up last night as "son_of_truth". The hackers IP points to both of those users. It's obvious someone out there is a bit disgruntled. If you see these user names floating around on other forums, beware.

I will continue to investigate who the hacker is. I have a pretty good idea as to who it may be, or at least what "group" they're affiliated with.

Thanks for your vigilance, Rod. For some reason I just had to re-login. No other issues I've noticed.

Guess one of these passwords, bzotch:

LDbDY7qV
bPPRBWD5
oInPvHn2
ro9j8MEk

...etc.

I run with PasswordSafe. It's a bad ass full random password generator and database. It stores your passwords in a heavily encrypted database that makes entering your passwords simple as a double click. One "combination" (password) is all you need to remember to access your database and all your passwords. It's smart enough to clear passwords from any cache and clipboard when you terminate the program. Recommended..... :cool:

There were three accounts which were attacked. I'd rather not speak for the three individuals, however they are more than welcome to speak for themselves. Interesting string of events lately gives me a pretty good suspicion of who this group/person is. Without solid facts I can't say, however I'm working on obtaining more info.
