Unauthorized Login Attempts

Yea, I'm getting about 6 tries a week... either the same person or just reandom passerby who think it'd be cool to steal the nation God Himself.

I'm wondering if there's anything, beyond making some jinormously clever password, that can be done to either ebb this increasing problem or IP log and identify the user/s (and his nations) who make the attempts.



Also, for all those wondering or interesting, I also happen to own God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, as well as The Angel of God. The latter of which I keep in Hell, just for kicks. ;)

I would've sent a Getting Help request. If a nation is attempting to try and log into your nation, well, you might have just tipped them off, and they may stop attempting to do log in.

If they are, and they stop, mission accomplished.
If they don't, and are caught, mission accomplished.
If they are and steal the nation, there's plenty of witnesses to the fact that God Himself stated this was happening.

Do you use AOL? If you do, this tends to happen sometimes. AOL uses one IP address for multiple logons, so if someone someplace else gets blocked, every other AOL user on that IP gets blocked as well.

Either way, you should make sure that your password is something hard to guess, a mix of letters and numbers, upper and lower case, etc... Can't be too careful you know. ;)

If someone is illegally trying to hack any of those nations, then, regardless of whether it stops, an investigation will be launched and the perpetrator(s) hopefully caught.

That was the point I was trying to get across... :headbang:

katganistan has got the jist of things ;)

No, I do not use AOL.

In all actuality, it's kind of an honor symbol, to have so many attempts :p
Quite flattering indeed...

keep in mind that the number of bad login attempts stays when you log in again... if you have 6, there might me some funny guys who tried to steal your nation, but if it increases with 6 per week.... be carefull :mp5:

or is this fixed allready?

In my nation, it only shows the number of bad logins since my last sucessful login.
