    Hey guys, I've just gotten 3 e-mails in a row saying someone's trying to hack into my account on boards.tv:
    Dear Stark,

    Your account on boards.tv Forums has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

    The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 74.86.22.202

    Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

    Is this something to be concerned about? Is anyone else getting these messages?

    Can you think of any reason why someone would want to access your account there? Pissed anyone off lately? :)

    Weird actually. One of the IPs matches a whole pile of accounts here. All foreign spam accounts. Your user profile hardly got onto bugmenot or something did it?

    Don't think I've missed off anyone more than usual :)

    Figured it was some sort of spambot by the looks of things. No mention of boards.tv on bugmenot anyway.

    Weird, not sure what I can do to help - maybe I can add those IPs to the blocked list? Can you still login to your account Stark? PM me if not...

    Yeah I can still login. The messages have stopped since I reported them initially as well.
