Ok, after recover Questions incident, I have received this mail:

Quote:
Hello "Gontcha"

We have detected multiple failed log in attempts (140) on your account.
Therefore, to insure maximum security, we blocked your account on Runescape Bits
& Bytes for 15 minutes.

You will have one more chance to access your account, using the correct
password, at Fri 06. Jul, 2007 15:48:58.

If you receive this warning and are not responsible for those attemps, you
should contact the site admin, and report this issue.

If you forgot you password, please use the appropriate link to receive a new,
random, password.
Of course, you will be able to change that random password.
Here is a few tips to choose your new, secure, password:
- Never use "simple password" like your birthday, your dog's name, etc
- Use both number and letters in any combination
- a longer password is harder to guess.
- use different passwords on different sites (e.g. use some of the site name
letters in your standard password)


Mike/Shane, could you trace back the IP of the previous 5 attempts please?
And did anyone ever had this before?

The IP that's been doing it is now banned.

If anyone is however worried i suggest you change your passwords and make it one hard to guess.

A good password generator can be found here:

Any other reports of this should be private messaged to an admin, we don't need topics like this cluttering up the place.
