    Dear ewp1,

    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: 195.229.242.154

    It's happening a lot recently. Make sure you have a good strong password and you shouldn't have any problems.
    There have also been several phishing attempts over the last month or so. Be careful that you only enter your DP login details on the forum's official homepage and not an impersonation.

    Such attempts cannot be stopped. You can ban all of them. Just make sure you've good password and everything will be fine. YOu can expect at least 5 attacks per day with a community of 135k+
