Yep, I received it also. He's picking people that haven't previously been involved in his threads which may mean that it isn't dipshit after all. :dunno |

No one account is ever attempted more than once in a row, though repeated periodically. It's pretty much: Try a username/password. Fail Try another username/password. Fail Try another username/password. Fail . . . Try the first username/password. Fail Each from a different IP address with random time intervals between. A 3 tries and you're locked won't really work in this attack due to the long time intervals and IP hopping, unless someone sees something I'm overlooking? Suggestions welcomed of course... I am banning the IP addresses used in the attack which is having a pretty good effect in stopping the attempts, but more IP addresses are easy to get... --- End quote --- --- End quote --- nah. He would have mistaken you for a zombie and shot his way in by now. |

That list is short so he's probably just going down a list of names. He doesn't care as long as he does some damage. |
