I don't think I did sign up for them -- AFAIK, they're automatic

ed: I do have Control Panel|Options|Receive Email From Adminstrators checked, but I don't know if that includes security warnings.

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

I deliberately failed to log in from the PC on the next desk. Five times, just for a good measure. An hour later, still no notification. Am I missing something?

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

An an unsuccessful attempt just occurred for me as well.
202.171.253.74 is where mine originated.
Evil Evil B-tards.

Might be worth changing your password, usually the notification is generated when correct password was provided, but different country (would explain no notificatiin on failed attempt from another desk), maybe mods/admins can confirm TMO settings before panic

Same for me :eek: Got the following e-mail on 9th Februar :

Quote:

Dear willi6868, Someone has tried to log into your account on maemo.org - Talk 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: 112.105.57.80 All the best, maemo.org - Talk

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

That was the answer, thanks! I tried 6 times and got the notification.

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

Oh yeah...
my password is changed...
changed it the moment this crap went down.
now my password makes Rumpelstiltskin look easy :D

Same here. 5 attempts using incorrect passwd : 117.173.20.179.

It mentions the person will be prevented from further login attempts for the next 15 min. Are u guys recommending changing the passwd despite these failed attempts?

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

Nah, noone mentioned earlier that it was generated based on unsuccessful attempts, some places have such notifications and blocks in place for correct pass but different country (dropbox, gmail too if not using already authenticated client)

Re: Multiple Sign-In Attempts from China
 

Only if your password is easy to guess. If they haven't guessed it yet - which they haven't, otherwise you woud not be getting these alerts - changing it to something of the same complexity will not have any effect.
