Dear Miki Angelus,

Your account on Star Wars Epics has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 66.230.230.230

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:
login.php?do=lostpw

All the best,
Star Wars Epics

I tried a traceroute and it indicated somewhere in Tampa.

We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

I'm glad they didn't make it in.

They're probably not from Tampa, that IP is a TOR router which means it's an anonymous proxy.

And thankfully it looks like they were just trying to spam using your userID, not hack.

Looks like a good time to change our passwords.

Indeed.

Re: Seems someone tried hacking my other account

How do we know it was stopped? :glance

Maybe the hacker now has control of the account and is just TELLING us all of this because, after hacking his or her way through Jari's computer, they somehow managed to overpower and tie up Jari, and now the real Jari is stuck inside a makeshift cell frantically pounding on the door and trying to find a way out?

!!!!!!!!!!!!


…. side note, I am not real clear on how hacking works. Last time someone tried to hack my computer I put a couple of bricks on top of it and that seemed to prevent them from crawling out through the screen, but I was worried about them slipping out of the USB ports so I sat there with my shotgun for a while.
