    Looks like the changes haven't quite kicked in yet ? New Forum Firewall is misbehaving lol.

    Looking at the logs I think this predated the change I made to resolve the issue (you will have been sent an email at 21:01 last night.
    I can't see any 'suspicious' failed login attempts since 22:15 last night.

    This is a regular occurrence for me on DIYAudio. It is caused by an incorrect handshake on Tapatalk. If you use that then suspect the app first, not hackers. Remember it updates from forums quietly in the background.

    Someone tried to log on to my account, unsuccessfully, yesterday from this IP address 208.109.0.4. Very annoying. Sorted now. Maybe a time to update passwords. Why don't these sad bastards get a f'ing life?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
