Mods, others - someone trying to hack my account?
I tried to log in this morning to post some really witty, thought provoking stuff but when I attempted to enter my login and password, I got a message saying I had exceeded my number of failed login attempts. I was confused because I knew I typed the correct password and I only submitted it once, not five times like the error message said.
So, it told me I was locked out for 15 minutes. No big deal....
Then, I just received an email from Fly Fisherman forums that said someone tried to login to my account with an incorrect password five times. The email (from a Jeff Simpson) gave me the IP address of the offending party.
A search shows it to be from New York.
****? Any thoughts?
(typed this from my phone, the computer still won't let me in)

But, yes, since you asked, everyone is out to get you.
(p.s. I got the same message on my phone this morning).

attempted hack, probably by a Bot

Those using tapatalk are you now able to log on or did you have to wipe the app and get a new one?
I couldn't access from any device. After contacting the powers that be, they were on it immediately.

It's Obama's secret police keeping track of ginger internet activity for future action placing all gingers in re-education camps. I heard it straight from Mr. Right.
