Topic: Hack Attempt 86.17.36.8

[Mr Rizla]

The above ip address tried to access this forum by logging on as a known user but didnt know we had changed the password, the ip belongs to VirginMedia and an abuse report has been sent.

Yay detective Ken - Go get 'em!

Nice one Ken, would think Branson had some thing better to do.

[Mr Rizla]

were hosted in the US of A, this is a federal offence and could be refered to the fbi

Wonder if this is the same person who hacked into and deleted CBC in December 2008.

[Mr Rizla]

Nah, this person was trying to logon as Tallgirl and couldnt guess her password

Hope not lololololol But banned them anyway.

[Funster]

If they are on Virgin Media, then they are on a static IP, and as such it doesnt change, and is effectively "allocated" to them.
Nice easy trace for Bransons Mob methinks
Well spotted Ken

My experience when I was on Virgin was that my IP was shared with loads of other users so it isn't that simple.

[Mr Rizla]

well, i am about to ban that ip as US host not willing to do anything and Virgin will take no action

[eezyrida]

Either Virgin Media is based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, or the hacker is.

[Giuliano]

Apparently Virgin do give static IP to broadband customers, but anyone using dial in gets to share IP.
