too many login attempts

Post by mikosiko »

@Admins:

I got this error message this morning when I tried to login (only one attempt using my normal username/password) any reason for that?

I also had that not sure if I actually entered my password wrong but it was quite early this morning so I probably did but I was able to login straight after.

I believe we're going through a bit of hacking attempts. A number of members & mods have reported this problem & our records show multiple attempts from multiple IPs. Unless this continues for an extended period, all you can really do is make sure your password is secure & ride out the storm.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
