Dear Angrybird 12,

Someone has tried to log into your account on Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum 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: 96.44.189.101

All the best,
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum
I am posting this here because if it was attempted in that forum it may be attempted here also.
Thank you.

this is a normal thing on the internets, don't be worried, just make sure to always have a strong password and NEVER use the same passwords with other accounts. If one password gets hacked all your accounts could be compromised

Hacking will be running rampant!

1234 is not good?

It's a usual thing. Like others have said, use a good password but be ready to act if/when your stuff gets hacked. It's unreal people think the future is all online apps and all this stuff when it's going to get all jammed up.

I'm investigating this.

It's probably members of a Prius forum

I'd recommend a very secure password. If you have any further suspicious account activity, contact me.

I used to run a pretty popular blog and if I got hassle from folks I would pay the "brats" at the MIT labs to this kind of work for me. It was not expensive. Those nuts can find anyone and anywhere, given proper motivation. Was revealing.
