(answered) Failed Login Notification on Bluelight

[poledriver]

So I got this email today -

Dear poledriver,

Someone has tried to log into your account on Bluelight with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 95.211.184.220

All the best,
Bluelight

I saw the email and logged on and changed my password to a much harder one that what it was, twice as long with more number letter combinations.

I'm not sure what someone could do by logging onto my account but I thought I'd share this to make it known. I guess they could lock me out if they changed the password and email etc and pretend to be me, which would suck.

^ pretty much.

could be opportunist or speculative, could be more sinister. ip check doesn't raise any obvious red flags. password change is good. let us know if it happens again.
