Default Failed Login Notification from CBR Forum

Got an e-mail stating "Someone has tried to log into your account on CBR Forum with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes. IP address 176.31.236.123."

The IP address comes back to:

hostname - ns228112.ovh.net
ISP(Internet Sevice Provider) - OvH Systems
Organization - OVH SAS
Country - France
Lat: 46.0
Long:2.0

Did some research and it comes back to a wooded area outside a town/city called Petillat, in France. All I could think of was.. "My CBRF account... why??? The NDFC is easy to join, just be a !" Then, I automatically thought of the "USA Prime Credit... This is Peggy" commercials and died laughing.

Did a Google Earth search, there was literally a guy in the middle of the woods, in full motorcycle gear and a computer. Guess he's an ATGATT type of fellow.

At least the SeaBarf is protecting our phony bologne accounts. "Blazing Saddles" reference.

"dis is peggy....please hold"

I got one of those last year too. The ip came back to just outside of scottsdale az or something and i thought it mightve been with an az member i had just gotten into a disagreement with from that area so i got their ip as well but obviously they were way off and i knew it was useless to try to prove anything. With dhcph ip pools and proxy's its pretty much impossible to tell who's doing what after the fact unless you can see the end to end communications. Cuz god forbid they succeed and actually post something on this site as me that i wouldnt want them to.

Had it myself last year, tracked the IP to somewhere the US (don't remember where now) but at the time I just assumed it was Nate messing with me.

But, it did raise the question in my mind - why?

If someone so desperately wants to be a member of the forum, why don't they just join?

Probably a spambot trying to crack your password

Welcome to the REAL club, Trey!

It's a signal of your admittance into the Notable CBRF Personalities Club. When you start getting multiple ones per day, they're letting you know the key to the executive washroom is ready

Got another one today... the 184.154.39.106... Chicago area. Obviously it is masking the IP's.

It is hilarious to me. My CBRF account, really. Again.. the NDFC is pretty easy to join... obviously this person is NOT a .

Should I be concern? I join the NDFC & Official Welcome Crew...

I just got a PM like a week ago, fellow CBRF member asking where I buy my mirrors...never gave it any thoughts and reply...should of start a new email instead of replying?
