Someone trying to log in my account but failing?

Yea. I've gotten 8-10 in the past day.

Seritinajii · February 13, 2011, 03:32:54 AM

Exactly zero. I wonder why.

There has also been a lot of vandalism and spam account on the wikis, such as the FE Wiki, has anyone else noticed?

tacopill · February 13, 2011, 05:44:58 AM

Alot of wiki's have been getting hit by spam.

To help counter it, per request and help of other people around said wiki's, I've installed Title Blacklist and Spam Blacklist to Fire Emblem Wiki, Lylat Wiki and WikiBound; And then MetroidKing has helpouted in defining the respective MediaWiki pages (MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist and MediaWiki:Titleblacklist). (Thank you, StrategyWiki and ZeldaWiki).

This has helped cut down on the spam, and any new spammers have been added to the blacklists over time.

Anyway. This seems to be more different, but it maybe linked. as far as i can tell, It/he/she is Attacking specifically the forums; so make sure you have changed your password and do so routinely.

The IP addresses of the one's i got so far are:
66.96.16.32
87.118.104.203
95.143.193.145
66.249.9.107

Hope it helps.

This is vaguely starting to remind me of a time many years ago when an online group I was in got into a quarrel with another group and they started trying to "hack" each others members.
Thing is, I wonder who is trying to attack us, and why?

BooDestroyer · February 14, 2011, 07:34:44 PM

Geez, I'm STILL getting them!

Maybe the staff here can just kill my account off. I'm no longer interested in posting here as much anyway.

pikachu8090 · February 14, 2011, 09:30:21 PM

i just got two more with the ip address of 95.143.193.145
It in Sweden

74.120.15.150 in Seattle Washington Us

We're gonna mod the forums and it will reduce this issue.

Level 3 · February 15, 2011, 02:02:39 AM

Guys, it's obviously Wikia. They hired some internet hitmen on 4chan who obviously turned out to be failures.

Anyway, nothing here on my end... yet. Hopefully this will die down once they realize they have failed.

Ahmlink · February 15, 2011, 03:42:35 AM

It`s obviously a running script that is doing this; the fact is I`ve gotten almost 8 notifications, including two that were my own IP address... (This happened while I was logged in)!!!

Justin · February 16, 2011, 07:08:03 PM

Forward me that email, please? (The one with your IP logging in)

Blake · February 20, 2011, 02:25:55 PM

Amoebas · February 20, 2011, 02:56:22 PM

I've gotten 3 of these emails a day since 02/11/2011.
Hello Amoebas,
We have detected a failed login attempt on your account.

IP address of the failed login attempt: 137.56.163.64

IP changes everytime

30 emails is ENOUGH - somebody delete my account.

dkpat · February 20, 2011, 04:30:02 PM

Trust me, the staff is concerned about this and we are trying to script up a solution. Hopefully we will have it fixed very soon.

Peanut64 · February 20, 2011, 04:30:59 PM
