This is the fourth time that I've recieved notification of a failed login attempt!!!

I wonder if I should move some of valuable items to my mules.

I'm now on my third >.<

I'm glad they never try this when I'm actually going online ^.^;;;

Are you reporting it?

Reporting it won't do any good. IP bans aren't used, so people trying to access an account cannot be banned. The only thing you can do is make ure your password in secure and just get on with it, I'm afraid. sweatdrop

Do you know if this ongoing issue has even been brought about to the admins?

I know that a couple of them at least know about it. But I can't see what could be done about it.

They should be! >.<
Hackers stink!

...but then again, tons of libraries would be banned from Gaia ~_~

What about putting in a bot checker?

You mean, a captcha thing on logging in? I dunno. Plus, I dunno if it can be said for certain that a bot is doing it. I guess by the sheer magnitude of it, that it's fairly likely.
Edit: There's a thread in SF here:

I checked my email, and I've got another seven notifications. Again, for ~Kai_Magelet~, and I have no idea who that is, but they were using my email for activating their account. Something. Just. Whatever.
PostPosted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 8:22 am


Still on 5 ^.^
But I got the standard "Someone could have misspelled their name, don't worry unless your items are missing" reply from the admins. 3nodding

Thats really weird, Ala.
They would have to have signed on to your email activate their account.
But I think you don't have to activate anything to assign the alerts.
Did you try asking ~Kai_Magelet~ what the deal was?

~Kai_Magelet~ doesn't seem to have been on in a few years, so I don't think I'm in any danger. Hm.
