    I just got a message from TGT that someone attempted to login 5 times with the incorrect password.

    "Dear motorcarman,

    Someone has tried to log into your account on Texas Gun Talk - The Premier Texas Gun Forum 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: 94.142.241.240

    All the best,
    Texas Gun Talk - The Premier Texas Gun Forum"

    I guess if they get into my login 'I' will be sending all sorts of nasty comments to all of the members here???

    I guess I will try to find the IP address 94.142.241.240

    Be careful out there.

    Interesting. That IP is a Tor exit node in the Netherlands, so no possible way to know who that was or where they're from. If you get any more notifications, let me know. Worst case, use the LastPass generator to create a long (like 20+ character) and complex password, then save that somewhere safe, and at least the password won't be easily cracked (if ever). https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
