HACKER TRYING TO CRACK INTO CF ACCOUNTS - Please ensure you have a difficult password

[Battie]

I have also been asked to post this:

Amen, Envoy. And thank you for posting that.... I must say that praying for this person was not the first thing on my mind, but humbly I'm reminded that it should be.

By the way, its good to see you again. (jameseb here )

Greetings James, Im [The Lord's Envoy] blocked now.... haha.. its a bummer too, though I can deal with it. While frustrating its important I think to not bash the guy. I pray that Erwin is equipped to combat this threat though, and I too would remind the hacker "we reap what we sow" sooner or later.

2:15 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time and there appears to still be a problem... this isn't my usual sign in name.

Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password?

 

[Jarrodinabubble]

Honestly I don't think this is a real hacker. Maybe just some script-kiddie who is trying to guess passwords. If he really wanted to do damage, there's plenty of different ways to do it.

I have also been asked to post this:

LOL, please don't tell me you actually signed out, Envoy?

Thank you for relaying the message, Battie.

I doubt its even a person looking for passwords... I think whoever it is just found a handy script that would allow them to harass and keep members from getting access to the site. Maybe someone's upset that Enterprise was canceled...

 

[ZACTAK]

Man I would hate to be that person, especially if they live in the U.S.... we just recently learned in my criminal justice class that hacking can hold a penalty of 25-50 years!!!

True.. I've had to deal with hackers for awhile, and I somewhat used to be one. Don't ask But I bet he just found a nice little proggie which a couple password banks and thinks he's all big shot. Probally doesn't know the first thing about hiding himself. Doubt it will be that hard to catch him.

Just yesterday I had a friend who got a trojan from some wierdo in Georgia. Now, I had the option of turning his trojan against him, or to report to his ISP. Oh I remembered the fun old days but I was busy so just reported him. Ohhh well.

Not that high, some cases yes but something like this.. probally a blackbook sentance and pbation. I just remember a case of some kids hacking into NASA not to long back to store illegaly downloaded movies cause they ran out of space... Don't think they even got that much.. GZZZ.. Mitnick didn't even get 25 years.

Thereselittleflower was LOGGED IN and was bumped off.... NOW she cannot relog back back In

This is from my forum as it is the only place that we can safely post now.....

We were informed of this problem over there, and because of that we have changed our passwords.... The only problem we have now is that.... Her account should not have been able to be accessed at all since she was already signed in... Don't we have a message that informs the person of this, that the account they are trying to access is already in use?

I was signed into CF . . I had successfully changed my password and was signed in . . .

I had just gone to the announcement page, and was bumped to the main page .. . as a guest . . .

I did not refresh that page. . I had not been on that page, and I backpaged to the announcement page but I was no longer able to access it. Instead I could only get to the pda sign in page . . .

When I tried to sign in, I was told that I had exceeded my quota . . . t he same old same old that everyone else has been getting. . .

He bumped me off . . now I can't sign in!

Ah, your Kung Fu is strong.

Mmm, I was talking to a friend on the phone earlier who told me the very same thing (that they were logged in, but then got 'bumped' off), but I thought they might have just been confused. A

s Ren & Stimpy's friend, Mr. Horse, would say... "No sir, I don't like it."

 

[KristianJ]

I had about 40 mins of problems before getting back online, Eric - a few people I was talking to via MSN are still having problems getting online (eg. Bevlina), so I guess that the only thing that I can say is remain vigilant, keep on trying to log in, and when you get back in, change your password no matter what it is now

servent4ever IMed me and asked me to post this:

67.18.200.5 -- I got an email saying my 2nd (servant4ever2) account is locked and that was the IP address in it... I created that so I could get back on CF and report I couldn't get on with servant4ever

 

[ChrisWinston3rdNameToday]

Hmmm... still broken... and when I sign out of this name will I have to Register yet again?

 

[Ainuhina]

that's why I said *can*, each situation is different...

 

[Miss_Macphisto]

I was finally able to log in under a new name. Horray!

Now I'll keep trying my old one...

 

[MartinM]

Sparklecat wants me to pass on a message - she was locked out of her account as others have described, couldn't log back in after 15 minutes, so she tried to start a new account, only to find that she was locked out of the new one too...

 

[Debi1967]

Erwin might have disabled new signups..... I know that on my forum that I can disable signups for 72 hours should I have a problem......

 

[TiredofRe-Registering]

This name is brand new within last 2 minutes. It's my seventh (i think, i lost track) in the past few hours and one hour was spent listening to a sermon.
