someone trying to steal passwords?

I just got this in my email:

Am I at risk? Anyone else get this?

 

Got the exact same thing, as did another friend. Not sure what's up.

 

Yup, I got it too.

lame hacker.

probably lives in his mom's basement.

Here is where the site links to: http://seorant.blogspot.com/ <--- about keywords... hmmm I wonder who could be the little emo hacker?

 

Yep, got it too. Twice!

Some kids trying something out....

 

Same goes here, I received both, and both have the different IP and ISP i think. Have contacted the Mod here, and I think they are doing something about it now. Hopefully nothing will happen to our account.

 

Reminder- set your password to something nobody could ever guess.

Use letters number and symbols.

 

use special character and upper case

 

Brute Force Calculator: http://www.hackosis.com/projects/bfcalc/bfcalc.php?uc=3&lc=8&nu=3&sc=2&ran=&rans=&dict=

Test how long time it takes to crack the password.

 

Thanks for the tool.

All is good, I have not received this dreaded email. I guess I am fine for now... LOL

It is probably more of a spam attempt than a hack attempt. I got the same thing.

 

I got this too...

 

I got it too. I changed my password but I have to say that whoever said it's probably spam maybe right. I would have thought any serious hacker would have got into at least one account by now.

 

I got it with this IP address: 218.3.85.75

Looked it up and it says located in China.

 

A request was made from the following location to send a copy of your username and password to you:


218.3.85.75 (218.3.85.75)
...

 

I also got this email.

 

Yup I got it as well. And the funny thing is that the password that DP sent me was ancient and I had changed it months ago. So regardless of the attempt they would not have gotten in due to the incorrect password that was sent.

So like what was already suggesteds change your password, monthly if not weekly and make sure it does have numbers, symbols and letters mixed up.

 

I got it too...

In analyzing situations like this, I always look for a common thread.

In this scenario the common thread seems to be people with accounts here on DP. However, I wonder if any of the other forums are getting the same thing?

Does anyone here have their email address listed here going to or through (being forwarded) a gmail account?
