Hi, Today I got an email from Digital point saying someone tried to login my account. He/she tried five times and my account got locked. So I waited for few hours and got one more mail from DP. The same person tried 10 times to log into my DP account and got it locked. Why the hell someone from DALLAS want a poor Asian girl's Digital Point account? Why is this person trying to login to my user account? Is it possible for the moderators find out who is the DP member from this IP?
Maybe he thought he can be of use in increasing your postings.. hehehe.. seriously, this is a grave act.
Dear AGLOCOPH, (I received this email from the Staff here in DP informing with this hacking attempt please beware on this IP address mention here. If you know this hacker please sent him a Love Virus) Your account on Digital Point Forums 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: 74.53.243.34 Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link belowerased for security reason) All the best, Digital Point Forums
The email is real. Someone attempted to access your account without your permission, but fortunately they failed. Rob
The email is automated, but I also got the same email from the same IP address. The IP is from The Planet, I assume a dedicated server client of theirs or someone who got their dedicated server taken over by a hacker. Mark

Why they do that? are there any valuable things they could get out of it if they become successful in hacking our accounts?
Maybe they hope to look for login information via PM, or to use your account to spam people? I really cannot find a reason for them to hack into DP accounts. It makes no sense.. Rob
Wow, I had never experienced this before, until today. Just read through my emails and my account was blocked twice yesterday.
Well, that's kinda scary. Not that my account is worth stealing, LOL. Maybe it was your little brother fiddling with your computer? Happens to me a lot. Edit: I should learn to read. You said the guy was logging on from DALLAS! Or maybe it WAS your little brother using a proxy server or something. Heheh.
same here. I think the hacker started with account names that begin with 'a' (and ascii characters that come before 'a').
