Hunting the Hacker - Please PM me what IP Address is trying to hack your CF account!

[Erwin]

Okay, I've fixed it so that real IP addresses, not the CF proxy, are showing up - please let me know what IP addresses are trying to hack your CF account. Anything that is not 67.18.200.5 is the IP of the hacker. So PM me so I can block the IP.

Please do this ASAP.

 

[Erwin]

Please try logging in now.

It should work.

If it doesn't work, please PM me the contents of the warning or email you get.

Hi

I was able to make a new account today. I couldn't even do that last night!

The log in button doesn't stick anymore like it did last night. But I still get this message when I try to log in as Stormy...

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? Click here!

Login didn't work for me about 3-4 minutes ago... don't know anything about this IP # dealie, all I get is the try again in 15 Minutes message after just one try.

I was able to login normally through netscape, which I wasn't able to do last night.

Oh wait, you mean this that I just found in email??

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 67.18.200.5

 

[DL6]

Yeah.. I finally got in (on the sixth account I made...)

I am getting the same problem with my normal account (Dark_Lite). I cannot log in with it.

The e-mails I've received have only been with the IP above... which isn't the one we're supposed to be looking for apparently.

This IP address doesn't help - that's the CF proxy server.

Any other IP addresses?

 

[DL7]

Ok... Apparently logging out is a bad thing.

Will we only recieve one email no matter how many times we try to login? When you first posted this I went into IE to see what would happen. I was blocked from logging in, but the email contained only the proxy server address. I tried just (and failed) now, about half an hour later, and I'm not getting any new emails.

<-----not logging out of CF in Internet Explorer (I may go into shock if I can't get on)

If someone was trying to hack into our accounts, wouldn't we get an e-mail when they tried getting in and not when we tried logging in? or for both?

 

[ChrisWins ReRegistering3]

Somehow "ChrisWins ReRegistering" got logged off.

I registered under: "ChrisWins ReRegistering2" and couldn't get in.

Now here I am.

here's past of my last email message:

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 67.18.200.5

 

[Stormy needs Erwin's help]

Erwin I am Stormy. "Stormy need Erwin's help" is my "today" account.

"Stormy too" is the account that I tried to make last night, and tried to get back into today. This is the EMAIL that I just recieved.

^ same email I got.

And at the top of the page it's showing that "ChrisWins Registering" is still Logged In. Hmm. Weird

 

[Erwin]

Okay, I've made more changes.

Please keep checking the email.

Let me know what IP addresses show up besides 67.18.200.5 and make sure it's not your own IP address.

It's okay. Please check your email again. It may keep showing the CF proxy IP for a while until your local DNS cache changes.

 

[Erwin]

Please keep attempting to log in and check your email.

 

[Dark_Lite]

I'm back .

With a much more secure password of course.

I cleaned out my cookies today and tried to log back in a few minutes later. I typed soemthing wrong obviously because it said I have reached my quota and cannot try again for 15 minutes. What quota did I reach? I tried once.

Anyway just figured I would let you know.
