Failed log-in notification - About the Forum - City-Data Forum

kshe95girl · 06-14-2012, 10:25 AM

So, it looks like I have someone trying to hack my account, I have gotten 2 failed log-in notifications in the last 12 hours, this person has attempted this before in the past few weeks.
What do I need to do to make it clear that if someone does hack my account and starts posting crazy stuff (this person is unbalanced), that it is NOT me, as I certainly do not wish to be banned?
I know that is the intent of this person.
Advice?

Short Advice:

Well, they apparently do not have your password... But could they guess it? Make sure you have a complicated password not easy to guess... (Write it down and keep it in private place...)

I would be amazed if they ever did guess my password, as yes, its complicated.
Just wondering how to put it on record that someone is systematically trying to hack my account.

I would DM one of the senior moderators.

2 more attempts within the past hour.

Make that 3.

And yet another one at 3:37pm.
That makes 6 since 1am.

So sorry you have a cyber stalker! I hope you've reported to Marka or Yac.
