Dear Monica,

Your account on BirdBoard.Com has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 219.89.210.114

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below: http://www.birdboard.com/forum/login.php?do=lostpw

All the best,

Not sure if I should be worried or not, but got this e-mail this morning...

well, somebody was trying to get into your account...they were from new zealand (or using proxy from new zealand)...as long as your password is somewhat complex, you'll be OK.

Password is complex, and I've even changed it to another pass... now only if I remember I've changed it!

I was playing a game yesterday, and another member threatend to hack into my account to steal my items. Whether or not he was bluffing, I haven't noticed any changes as of yet to the account... but it worried me when I woke up the next morning and got that e-mail!

When thinking of NZ though, I think of Scott or someone he or my sister knows in some way or another... I don't know though, but if the person(s) was smart enough he could have tracked me here (from the game), which is a bit creepy...

eh...well, I've taken care of probably about......a thousand IPs in NZ. If it happens again, let me know. Everything done here is logged, which makes it very easy to track people down :-) (especially for one of my favoritest members ;-)

I can't believe that anyone would do that to Monica!

Shame on them
Hope they find something worthwhile to do ....
