    Same here. I've already posted a caution thread here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=372061

    I'm sorry, I haven't noticed this thread before posting the one above. But it really seems like the person is trying alphabetically (see my user name). And yes, the IP is from Texas, Dallas, but it might be a proxy.

    Same thing happened with mine last night. Same IP. I guess it is those wonderful proxies at work.

    Wow Glad to see am not the only one. I was away from DP for the past few days and logged in today only to find that mail. I was shocked and came here to start a thread, but thankfully i look around before starting new threads.

    That IP must've been banned by now. :)

    I reported it to Theplanet.com guys, must've been taken down by now.

    Dear amokk20us,

    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: 70.86.138.114

    Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

    All the best,
    Digital Point Forums

    Well, I think the hacker got several DP passwords and now there is a script sending junk PMs with spam for a site with Adsense Ads about Mesothelioma Cancer.

    I think is a script, because that PM was sent to DP users in alphabetic order:
    agent272, ahkip, ahref, ajsa52, ajshroff

    I'm thinking that script is stupid because some DP user can be tempted to click bomb their Google Ads.
