I just checked my email and someone tried to login to my account and had the wrong p/w 3times and got locked out of the system for 15 mins. Should I be worried? Does this happen alot or should I be doing lots of scans on my computer?
I checked to IP addess on www ip2location com and it is from the russian federation.

Any advice on this would be great I have never had it happen before.

Thanks Sarah

    I have never had that happen here but have been hacked on another forum one time. Probably wouldn't hurt to report it to the HelpDesk and give them the IP and any other info you have.

    Thanks Tina,
    The email I got was from the WF but i guess it was probably an auto one. I will report it now.

    Had a reply to my support ticket which said it was probably a spam bot and that they would block the IP and to also change my password. So I am feeling a lot better about it and ran a couple of scans on my computer just to be safe

    I've heard of it before but it's never happened to me as yet and i hope it doesn't.

    As long as everything is still in good working order then i'm happy for you.
