Watch your DMCtalk Account - attempted Hack

[17076]

Someone tried 5 times to get into my account here. No idea why.

could it be due to your hot avatar?
Maybe they think you're one of those hooter girls..

Serisouly.. How did you get to realize that?

Someone tried 5 times to get into my account here.

How do you know??

[Domi]

I'm also curious to know how can you find such a thing?

If someone tries to log into your account 5 times unsucessfully then it locks, so I'm assuming the OP had a locked account and is thinking it was a hacker

Mentioned off of the forum: "DMC talk sent me a notice that someone entered the incorrect password 5 times yesterday, I have not been on DMC talk in weeks."

I don't believe it locked him out though...

[Dangermouse]

However, as he hasn't been back here since he posted, then maybe he has been blocked ????

Based on past experiences here, they wish to encourage us to buy genuine Canadian hockey jerseys while vacationing at a lovely Indian hotel.

I'm about to leave you bitches in the dust, since I'm on the verge of collecting around three million dollars from a Nigerian prince who is desperate to funnel his cash out of the country. SO LONG SUCKERS

When the bots are trying to set up accounts, more times than not it does seem that they are just using random letters or numbers.

Like, instead of "Joseph", the bots will usually try to do something oh-so-creative like "dfadsgfdsf" or "342353", which may be why it was attempted.

Some of the more clever bots actually have a flat file list of first and last names, and pull randomly from each list to use for account details.
