Hack alerts

Anyone else had an alert that someone tried to log into their account? I just did. Not from an IP address I recognise either. Someone is definitely trying to hack my account, but I doubt they are targeting me specifically. They might be targeting "inactive" accounts, as I haven’t posted for a while.

A reminder to beware of scams on SC. This is a potentially high-value forum for scammers and if they can take over an authentic account with feedback on H&V, they can use it to scam people. It’s happened on here before and it will most likely happen again.

If you have an easy to guess password then it’s likely you’re account will get hacked sooner or later. The same applies to old, inactive accounts that have been left with an easy-to-guess password. It’s a good idea to use a password manager, with a random password for each website.

Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

Also, please don’t post potentially security-sensitive details in this thread, including anything that might help the scammers, like knowing how many login attempts it takes to trigger an alert.
