[Scott MacVicar]

[ManagerJosh]

You aren't the only one....I have 186 emails sitting in my inbox...I just posted a support ticket regarding this :-S

Should I post the IP addresses?

[IDN]

Probably the same ones

[ManagerJosh]

Probably the same ones

Yeah they generally look the same...eeish why were we chosen

[Matthew Gordon]

140 for me.

[DWZ]

I got none...

now I have to decide if that is that a good thing or a bad thing...

[Faruk]

so far I've got none either ^_^

Which is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned, cos I don't feel like having tons of emails to delete...

just got flooded with emails. About 500 of em

So what did it feel like to have friends?

FYI, I've banned a bunch of IPs associated with these attacks.

[Stryker]

I'd just like to say I didn't get any emails either and I'm feeling very unloved and emotionally bruised right now. My therapist says I should get these feelings out in the open. Thankyou for listening. :|

Don't feel bad, I got left out also and I am an admin on here

Thats because everybody knows your password, no need to brute force it at all

[Darth Cow]

Well, I didn't fall victem to the attack, fortunately. But I'm hardly worried. 10 random character passswords are hard to brute force . According to my calculations, that's 36^10 attempts to try every possible combination or only about 3.6 quadrillion .
