Hi, I just logged in and found that it said there have been 4 bad logon attempts at my nation. I know that this is not me as I just logged in now after a whole lot of days. Could this please be investigated?

Thank You

Please clarify which nation had the bad logons. You've confused the issue with the second post.

You are going to be lucky to find out who did it I think, And to the mods, I belive he means when you typo the password they have the red writing under your nations stats that says there has been one bad log in attempt. In short, someone has been trying to guess his password. The Thing is, their is no way I could think of that would tell you WHO it was.

Unless the game somehow tracts the IP addresses of players when they try and log in. If so, they could match IP addresses with current players and then throw the rulebook at 'em.

You've already asked this question in another thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8531377&postcount=5)

It's no use posting your question in several places, especially not if you're hijacking someone else's thread, and certainly not if that thread's about something not related.

To both of you, I reccomend either changing your password, OR using the getting help page... I had someone attempt to get into my nation 13 times... I used the getting help page for this, and they logged my email adress, such that if it changes, they know someone hacked me. I however, knew who was attempting it... but couldn't prove.

For you two... I reccomend just changing the password.
