So I got an email saying someone tried to log into my account and was locked out. Wasn’t me. I was also given an IP address. Who do I contact about this? Can the IP address be used for anything?
Are other people getting this message or just me?
Send me details in a PM or e-mail.
I forwarded the email.
So to follow up, was this a typo, software blip, genuine hack attempt or a phishing scheme?
I’m not sure what it was, to be honest. It wasn’t a software blip. It also wasn’t a typical foreign hacker type of thing. The IP isn’t a typical source of spam or hacking.
My best guess is that it was someone trying to hack into the board, but they didn’t try very hard or didn’t know what they were doing. I really don’t know, though.
