when logging in this morning, I was greeted with the following message

apparently within the past 9 hours somebody saw fit to attempt to hack my account here on LB :x thankfully they didn't figure out my password

for all you who cherish your account here on LB ... recognizing that someone is attempting to hack accounts here, its a good time to rethink your password strategy and possibly update it to something that longer and also contains a mixture of upper/lower case letters and numbers

all the best,

Had this happen to me a couple of nights ago, but didn't think it was a hack attempt, just a glitch in the forum.... just changed my password to be safe though. Thanks for the info....

I'll check if mine's been attempted later.

If anyone else encounters this please post here and let us know!

Yep, me too. :(

Probably a bot though.

The bot is on a mission. I got hacked a few hours after I reset my password!
