    Woke up this morning and checked my emails, 10 from boards.ie. 1 saying i entered my password incorrectly 5 or more times and 9! attempted password resets. I've got the IP adress and provider but i'm not that bothered, Just a little confused.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Either it's the NSA after your PM insights or you had one too many west coast coolers.

    You should forward the details on to Dav or Niamh. It could be one of your mates acting the bollix, or it could be someone up to no good. They might be able to tell which it is.

    Noone else has access to my laptop so i never log out, otherwise i'd agree.

    Sleepboardsing is gas. I often do it if I wake uo early and go online before my brain fully boots up.
    It's like me posting, but not really.

    OP, with the weekend that's in it. It was probably the usual out of control Admin on a booze & drug filled bender, they forgot who they were and tried to log in as you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,611 ✭✭✭muddypaws


    Hmmm, I wonder who that could have been? Do you have a boards stalker? ;)

    I've woken up and found signs of forced entry at my house, wallet and keys in the hallway, laptop thrown on the floor, email from boards.ie about five attempted logins.

    They know when I go out and then they pounce. The next door neighbours were a bit upset after they were targeted one night.

    Bloody Illuminati.
