rmadrid-182 Posted 9, February 2011 Report Share Posted 9, February 2011 Went to login to my fav forum this morning.. got a message saying that I have exceeded the number of login attempts so needed to input the extra 6 alphanumerics shown on the screen. Is someone trying to get into my account? Or have any other members got this message as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 9, February 2011 Report Share Posted 9, February 2011 I had that once, but a while back, and ended up totally locked out. Had to get Dish to reset my password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted 12, February 2011 Report Share Posted 12, February 2011 I had it a couple of days ago. Might be worthwhile monitoring this, hopefully everyone uses secure passwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted 12, February 2011 Report Share Posted 12, February 2011 Had this happen to me earlier today. Bit weird given I keep myself logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted 14, February 2011 Report Share Posted 14, February 2011 Had the same prob a few days ago, so issue doesn't seem to discriminate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 15, February 2011 Report Share Posted 15, February 2011 Weird......after having this problem once ages ago, I had this problem again this morning, although this time I was able to decipher the hieroglyphics in the little window, and got myself logged in ok.... So....who's the hacker.......I'm looking at.......(na, I won't say it....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmadrid-182 Posted 15, February 2011 Author Report Share Posted 15, February 2011 i hope you're not referring to me maybe the admins can see IP addresses of failed login attempts vs username in a log file somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 16, February 2011 Report Share Posted 16, February 2011 According to phpBB there has been attacks against phpBB forums globally. They have issues some fixes which I am implementing. However some will take a little while to come into effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 16, February 2011 Report Share Posted 16, February 2011 Thanks for the update on the update bremund I was greeted with the same message this morning much to my bewilderment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 16, February 2011 Report Share Posted 16, February 2011 @ Riz.....lol....not you mate. Bit of a joke to myself regarding a recent forum member who caused a bit of a stir.... On a slight side not, I got my first Spam e-mail in over 2.5 years today. I wonder if there is a connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClioF1 Posted 17, February 2011 Report Share Posted 17, February 2011 I got it on tapatalk but no problems on the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 17, February 2011 Report Share Posted 17, February 2011 Dave, are you saying there's a connection between the spam mail and the log-in issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 17, February 2011 Report Share Posted 17, February 2011 Dave, are you saying there's a connection between the spam mail and the log-in issues? It did seem like a coincidence.....but then coincidences happen don't they.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 17, February 2011 Report Share Posted 17, February 2011 Weird, I got this problem again just now. A few things come to mind worth mentioning though..... The first time I got it (ages ago), I really can't remember the details. The second time that I mentioned above, it was when I logged in using a laptop I rarely use, from a different location. Most recent time (just happened) was using a notebook that I had just done a full clean up on, and had to log in fresh on. Excuse the technical terms.....haha.....but wondering if these circumstances have anything to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragyn Posted 18, February 2011 Report Share Posted 18, February 2011 Got it just now after entering the correct password and only just the once. Since when have we had the captcha thingy anyway?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamR Posted 22, February 2011 Report Share Posted 22, February 2011 I had this happen when I logged in just now. Definitely entered my login details correctly, and haven't made a mistake with them for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisC Posted 24, February 2011 Report Share Posted 24, February 2011 Hi, CHRIS-172 here. While im sure you are all enjoying the fact i am suffering the same fate, i cannot gain access to the forum. Tried resetting my password and entering the confirm code in all combinations of upper and lower case without luck... HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClioF1 Posted 26, February 2011 Report Share Posted 26, February 2011 I had this yesterday, put the code in and it worked. First time it happened on a computer. Tapatalk from my iPhone doesn't work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex Posted 1, March 2011 Report Share Posted 1, March 2011 I cannot log in on my Macbook at all. It won’t let me. I have reset Safari cleared all cookies and still won’t let me in. Is there a fix for this? Its been like this for a week or so now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 1, March 2011 Report Share Posted 1, March 2011 Apex, do you want to change/reset your password? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biologist Posted 4, March 2011 Report Share Posted 4, March 2011 Probably a good idea for everyone who can to change their passwords to something with upper and lowercase letters and some numbers as well. If your not able to log in, contact an admin and we'll change your password and advise you. Our technical guru is working to prevent this bot from working over our accounts and we are not alone all forums worldwide based on the same software are suffering the same attacks. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmadrid-182 Posted 4, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 4, March 2011 couldn't login for a few minutes at 7.20pm today ( a few minutes ago). ping and tracert worked to www.ozrenaultsport.com but the web page could not come up coming up with an "internal server error" message. Came back after a few minutes. Hope that bot is not messing around with our forum.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
