Hi,
Any chance of finding out who did this? I got an email this morning saying their were more than 5 failed login attempts to my account from an IP I didn't recognize:

Dear lukejaparidze,

Someone has tried to log into your account on Factory Five Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 162.223.88.243

All the best,

I changed my password so I'm good now but just curious as to why someone would want to hack into a factory 5 forum account....
Thanks
Luke

Once they get in your account they spam other members thru our PM system.

Send me a PM if this happens to you.
