attempted account hacking?

Postby rick » October 21, 2010, 7:20 pm

When i tried to sign in today, was told to many password attempts. As i was signed in ok last time i used it, looks like some one has tried to be me? Hence importance of a good password. I will watch carefully.

i use a password .
that has both numbers and letters , with a CAPITAL , letter being the first and last letter .
a bit of hassle sure , but worth the extra effort .

Yes it does look very much like someone has attempted to guess your password.

To be on the safe side I would advise everyone to use a secure password that is difficult to guess or crack. This website provides a useful script to generate a secure password. http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/
