Yesterday i received 5 messages in my e-mailbox:
Hello daniela,
We have detected a failed login attempt on your account.

IP address of the failed login attempt: 74.54.206.66

Someone wants to hack my account here :(

That is my security protection for accounts here. I would try matching the ip to somebody on one of your forums to see if you can find out who it is.

The Stop Forum Spam site shows that IP number as having a LOT of traffic lately, under different usernames and passwords.   Same with Project Honey Pot.

I believe that this is SMF's Login Security mod (made by him himself) (link to mod)

Looks like it didn't match any members here otherwise it would have shown that in the message as well.
