Im posting this just because i wondered if this is happening to anyone else. Normally i never hear a peep about problems with the site or the msg board.
However today i received notice that multiple attempts to use my account to login. Mistakes happen so normally its no big deal. But i decided to look up the IP and see whats going on.
It appears that someone using an anonymous TOR exit node to do this. To me this is a sign of an active or eminent attack. So if anyone else is getting probed maybe they could post an IP lookup and maybe it would help the admins fend off any attacks.
Here's the results of my IP Lookup- THis is the IP that was reported 176.10.99.202
IP WHOIS Lookup- 176.10.99.202
