someone trying to log in as me

[Charles Wirth]

The IP is shut down from the ISP and should no longer be a problem. This was told to me from the ISP directly this morning.

I have also contacted the Las Vegas FBI Cyber Crimes with the information and a complaint to the actions of that person.

He was running a script on several VB forums attempting to gain access to accounts.

I intend to file charges, tards who pull crap like this deserve a record with the FBI.

Dear -n7-,

Your account on XtremeSystems Forums has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 70.86.138.114

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,
XtremeSystems Forums

Exact same message 5 times in the last day.

I was getting worried, as it also happened on nvidia's forums.

Glad to see that i wasn't alone.

Glad to hear this has been taken care of.

Also good to see I wasn't the only person with the problem

FUGGER I absolutely agree with you and not just becaue I was involved

Once again huge thanks to Admin team and all involved in resolving the issue, this should keep the people quiet that think the moderating and admin of XS sucks

There's an old line that goes like this:

FUGGER has BIG horns!
Good going Charles, nail his backside to a wall!

Exactly.... since all there forums are publicly joinable anyways. Maybe:

-- looking for email addresses?
-- looking for stale Paypal information? (just of the top of my head)

I had my Linux gateway SSH access get bombared with login attempts from some address in Israel for 5 days in a row till I IP masked it out.

ssh si something else

as a linux user it is a challenge to crack ssh, so that person from isreal was probably training on cracking ssh

but cracking a forum username and password is very time wasting task unless he is hoping to find some nice info in saved PM

[Ashraf]

Yup, most site administrators, like me I used too when I was a site admin, intend to report any illegal activity logs with their local FBI's Cybercrime, US-CERT, or CCIPS.

SSH is a secure shell, so there is no point of cracking it. If it is cracked, you wouldn't be able to exchange encrypted information. It is called Brute Force, which it is connected with the server to attempt to login with all generated passwords.

[Sparky]

Great work Fugger, driving the point home

Admins here are the best

[leoftw]

I wonder if anyone got cracked. I think it would be good for everyone to change their pass . No?

[cruise]

not really, with thousands of possible combinations he would be better served trying his luck in the lottery.

It doesn't sound like any vulnerability has being exploited, more like some dumb script kiddy with too much time on his hands.

[zabomb4163]

maybe he was just trying to sharpen his skills. Start with somthing that probably wouldnt get him in any trouble and then later move onto more important sites with credit info.

[rhino56]

in the email did you have to give the isp your name and password?

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Thumbs up.

[STEvil]

Why does he have to be intelligent to run scripts?
