    About all you can do is use a strong password that you have never used anywhere else.

    64.185.192.137 just recieved

    What is going on with dp these days the forum is going to the dogs

    accounts being hacked
    server disconnects
    inconsistancy with infractions (i get infraction other person identical post to me no infraction)

    lots of big name members leaving because of all these issues

    its time dp admin got there act together and put this forum up with the best where it should be

    Same here, was wondering what was going on. I got this email TWICE - but I deleted the first email so I only have one example.
    I had 3 ip address's try to hack my account.. I think some nerd created a program to use different ip address / proxies MASS crack all DP accounts

    Hacking attempts means that something is "going to the dogs"? What do you think about Google and Yahoo since they are also big targets of cracking attempts. Don't make pointless posts that could lead to an infraction and you won't receive one.

    What could you do to improve things?

    This guy seems to be hard at work from a variety of proxies. Follow Smyrl's advice and ensure that your email and forum passwords are secure.

    Review your recent posts history and if you see any posts that aren't from you IMMEDIATELY change your password and authorise the change and report the posts to the moderators.
