Thread: Failed log in email

Hi, I received a failed login email this morning. Someone tried to log into my account and was locked out. I thought maybe I was sleep shaving or something but it wasn't me. If a mod would like the IP address and email, I'd be happy to follow up.

Ps, shaving for about a year and lovin it!

I just got it, too. I checked the IP that was in the email on an IP geolocation site and it said Lagos, Nigeria.

Just send them your paypal password and they will deposit 1 million dollars in your account ........ you guys are the luck winners !!!

Mine was from china.

I got one from around Bangladesh.

It’s Hillary, (I’m so dumb, I can’t do email, but I’m qualified to be President) looking for a “Donation” to her non-existent campaign.

She had you confused with a terrorist sponsoring country…

I must not be important enough as I haven't got one! Boy Jimmy I could sure us a million dollars!

All I get is phone calls from some Dumb F*** saying that he/or she is with Microsoft Security and my system is infected blah blah blah, I always ask how this could be since I don't have a computer and when they 'try' to figure that out I tell them what I think of them in not so nice words and then hang up!!

As long as your password is not trivial (for example not on this list "123456" Maintains the Top Spot on SplashData's Annual "Worst Passwords" List) they're locked out in 5 tries. I've increased the lockout time from 15 minutes to 5 days, although almost no IP address has tried again after the 15min block.
The targeted accounts seem to be several years old and with very little activity on them because they're trying to find weak passwords and not be detected in the process.

Whenever someone calls I don't know & suspect of being a solicitor,,, I just turn the conversation into a sex chat line.

It's good for two reasons,,, they don't call back & I don't get charged,,,

My favorite are the calls from India asking me if I need my ducts cleaned, now aside from the obvious straight razor joke, I pretend I don't hear them properly and tell them I only have a small farm, with only sheep, goats and a few chickens, they get frustrated and try to explain, "No the ducts in your house!!!", I say, "Why would I have any ducks in my house, I told you, only have sheep, goats and chicken's and they stay in the barn"...had one guy going for a good 10 minutes before he hung up in disgust...
