Anybody had problems with hackers getting into their CBRforum account??
 

I have gotten 2 notices 2day(from CBRForum) saying someone is trying to access my account atleast 10 times 2day. Anybody else gotten these notices?? Who knows how to track down an IP Address(69.197.152.211) and find out who it is?? What threat does this actually pose?? What can they really do if they do get in??

There have been many of us get the same notices. The IP traces back to Kansas this time and I forget where from the last one I traced, but they can be n prolly are proxies n not the real ip of the guilty party.

Best thing to do is have a good password with at least 8 or more characters, upper and lower case letters, and numbers. Oh and not use words that can be found in a dictionary ;)

lol as long as ur password OutlawF4 isnt OutlawF4 lol u should be good

my pass is a imaginary word contemplation i made up lol so unless they use a crazy password generator lol im safe

Yup. What he said. :)
Very nice post, too, PFG. You're good people. ;)

And that IP is almost certainly a proxy, btw. Proxy checks lit up like a christmas tree.
Also, outlaw, there's another thread on this very subject here... just a couple threads below this one.

Well, I suppose they can call me bad names until I bash them in the head with a rock.
Or they may sell Z some nice pink sweaters for the upcoming winter.
Hard to tell.
