    Failed Log-in notifications??

    Has anyone else received a notification of a failed login?

    I got this earlier on tonight....

    Dear Jimmyb,

    Someone has tried to log into your account on Ernie Ball 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: 24.189.236.52

    All the best,
    Ernie Ball Forums


    hmmm

    Jimmy, I did an ISP look up and it would seem that someone from NY was trying to access your account.

    24.189.236.52 - United States IP. Detailed location, ISP and more info.

    Maybe they want to hack my account to post something meaningful...

    It's kicked me out on the first try to log in the last two times. Could be that I can't type.

    While I'm hijacking, did you know that they have A-Z links to every Beatles song and also have them organized by album on www.beatlestube.net ? Good for goofing-off at work!
