I am getting them from other sites as well, most often from an APNIC IP address (Asia). So everyone make sure your passwords are strong, the spambots are after you.

I got the message tonight.

At least it lists the IP the person was trying to log in from.

Looks like based on a preliminary search it was a China based mobile communications company. The ip looks like it is based in Bejing.

Chinese are trying to take over everything apparently.

I know that this thread is strictly for this forum only but has anyone's company e mail accounts been hacked recently? It seems like there has been an alarming increase in cyber attacks throughout the business World recently

I work at a major University, and we are always under attack. It's a constant thing. One of the best ones I got was an official looking email from the University's HR department telling me that my pay raise had been approved and if I wanted to see it, click here and log into our system.
Being an employee of 22 years, I knew this was not the method to see our employment info. Hold the cursor over the official looking university senders email and it came up as something from the Russia.

Someone trying to log into my account!?

Well, I was browsing through the forum and got an email saying that someone had tried to log into my account using the wrong password 5 times.

I checked the IP address which was provided to me, and apparently, it's from China. The results said China Mobile was the provider.

I'll attach a screen shot of my email with the IP address so an admin can block it. Given it's location, I'd say it's people trying to access the accounts to spam the forum.
