My Attention?

[Nilesjones]

Is someone trying to get my attention? Had someone try to break my password to get into my account for some reason and was just wondering if someone here was trying to get my attention. I got the email today and thought it was a cunning way to get someone's attention lol

Anyway, if you're wondering about where I've been, I've been strictly in college mode. The past few months I've been working my way through the school. I've got four classes, an internship and now I'm tutoring students in programming and the Microsoft Office programs. Basically I don't have any time for anything until October when we get a break and even then I'm not sure if I'll have time to do anything. I'm not sure when BF4 is supposed to come out, but when it does, I'll have the money ready to buy it. I miss being on TS and hearing that I'm a marauder. Basically like a teacher, I get paid once a month and have to work harder than anyone to keep up with the classes and the tutoring services. The internship isn't that bad, but it feels like I'm just tutoring people on how to use a damn computer anyway for free.

I hope that you are all doing well. I hope to see you guys soon!!

Dear Bliss,

Someone has tried to log into your account on Cain's Lair 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: 188.143.235.118

All the best,

Looked it up and it routes to Russia, so I figure it's just Putin trying to figure out the launch codes (which are hidden deep within cain's lair - aka the non-admin bathroom stalls).

I had the same email sent to me with the following incriminating IP: 188.143.234.14

Are we under attack?

Putin has this big thing against homosexuals now... so that might be a start.

Yes, the attack IPs are Russian, but the target is the server, not anybody specific. The bad guys want server access in order to "adjust" server code and infect anybody who opens the web page. It's probably an automated attack on many forums (not just Cain's Lair). The goal might be to add more zombie computers to their botnet.

Too bad Sirex can't protect all servers on the Internet.

Anytime we see infected we all think phantom.
