This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
Yesterday, I PM'd Neil, telling him that when I logged in yesterday that my login attempts had reached the maximum and that I had to solve a CAPTCHA.
Neil has yet to get back to me, however, today the same thing has happened! I've had to solve a CAPTCHA because my login attempts were up.
I have never had this before in all my years on the forum.
I didn't want to bring this out publically but with the same thing happening to me again today, I feel it is important.

It's not just you. And they're already looking into it.

Re: This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
Hi guys,
This is an issue that Neil and I thought was limited to staff accounts. From what we can gather, it’s a widespread phpBB problem that’s being caused by spambots attempting to circumvent the anti-spam features that are used during the registration process by logging into active user accounts.
As long as you have a strong password, we believe that your accounts should be safe, but this is a situation that’s of great concern to us at the moment.

Re: This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
I deal with crap like this everyday. These flippin spamBOTs are major pain in the butt. I always tell my end users to use at least one CAP and 1 number and keep it @ a minimum of 6 charcters of a password and it should be fine

Just to let you guys know, I’ve decided to sticky this thread indefinitely. That way, it won’t get lost in the shuffle, as this issue is of the upmost importance to all of us at the moment.

if you are going to do that then in that case can you edit my original post up to where I say "I feel it's important" and cut out the last sentences about a hacker getting a life.
Seems pretty daft now.
Thanks!

Re: This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
Unfortunately, this problem doesn't seem to work like that Slade. To hazard a guess, I’d say the bots are cycling through the user lists on this and other sites, giving off the impression that normality has resumed, when in fact, those being affected when we aren't simply haven’t been around to notice it.

Re: This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
Its happening again.
The dreaded entering of the multiple CAPTCHAs
This is like the 5th time so far.
And it won't let me log out for some reason either.

Well I got it also, but I changed my stuff just to be on the safe site. I'm gonna guess, but I think KARR might have something to do with it. Just saying.. (LOL)

Re: This needs to be bought to everybody's attention (login)
Happened to me again today, as well as yesterday. Answered the captcha a few times yesterday and it still would not let me log in.
Call me Mike.

Heh, good one When last seen, KARR's CPU was still alive somewhere in the desert and now he's trying to cause troubles for KRO thinking it's got something to do with the pompous Foundation who abandoned him in 1982KITT_Vs._KARR wrote:Well I got it also, but I changed my stuff just to be on the safe site.
