    Sooo, I use msn messenger, and all is dandy until like a couple weeks ago I couldn't get in, I am like alright cool some connection problem either on my end or msn's...

    Now I have certainly found out that some bird brain is "freezing" my e-mail so I am unable to sign into msn messenger...

    They use a tool which "freezing" is to bruteforce basically but it's goal for this task is not to actually guess the password, but send a ton of password attempts to an e-mail so it freezes and won't let anyone sign in.

    This is like totally messed up, I have no idea who it is, like I will ever find out ... but anyways did anyone ever encounter this and find a way to stop this from happening?

    I e-mail msn live many times and they say we can't do anything, it's like they never encountered this issue yet there are tons of pages of this happening when I searched on google.

    Anyways, I know everyone is like super smart here :eek:, sooo does anyone have a solution or anything to make the matter better?

    Thanks a ton, your input is very helpful :):)

    Take care ;)

    Hey mitcharr,

    I tried with windows live messenger just to see if it was the msn messenger I was using, and I get this message: [​IMG]

    So unfortunately I think it is someone purposely being an ass and freezing my e-mail :(:(
