ok, this is getting really freaking annoying. someone's trying to hack me. every day i log on, i go to MLN, just to harvest, i'm locked out. i have to go through all the hassle of getting the email, putting it in, blah blah, and use what has become my "junk"email, which is filled with some inappropriate spam i can't seem to get rid of.


*sigh* excuse the rant, i'm just ticked.

the question for you all is, WHY? why would i be getting (attempted) hacks at all? i'm not popular (well i kinda am here, but not on MLN), in fact, in the grand scheme of all things lego, i'm pretty insignificant. so why am I getting attacked?

Not just you, you'll be glad to hear... I get hacked EVERY day as well. That's why TTrades has always been a slow shop usually.

-_- Guys, if they don't get in, you're not hacked. Besides, hacking isn't even the right word, it's cracking, since they're trying to crack your password. Which is why having a complex password that's off the meter on the password change thing on LEGO is a good thing. =P

It's one of the reasons I grow tired of MLN.  If I close firefox for some reason (and thus log out), it's usually a day before I feel like going through the process of getting back in.

I'm kind of surprised I haven't gotten attempting cracking... yet.

Anyway, those who try to crack are probably the guests who visit here.

Maybe if you announced on the LMB's that you're leaving LEGO.com but would be keeping your account, no one would bug you? And you could just log on every now and again for shops and stuff. I wouldn't say I'm the most popular rank 10 at all, my clicks per day/week have gone down rapidly.

I have actually once had my account completely hacked into. People started spamming on the Message Boards with my account. It was embarrassing. :-[ But I told a Mod thru email... Smiley

But, sorry for ya'. I hate it when it happens. Maybe they'll stop sometime soon? Huh?

I have been locked once, but my friend did it because he was mad at me.  I'm surprised that it hasn't happpened more times, considering I post a lot and I'm rank 8...
