Had a bit of a prod and that server look like it's part of the proxy service operated by these guys. http://www.hidemyass.com/
So, whoever was having a go at CM's account, they at least know enough or are smart enough to use a proxy to cover their tracks.
Having dealt with these guys and others in the past getting any info out of them without resort to formal legal proceedings is not going to get anywhere.
For the time being the best you can do is to ask the admins to confirm the activity and it's source and block access from the associated address range, at least temporarily."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

They sell themselves as a way to get at BeBo, YouTube, Facebook etc from schools and offices that would otherwise block access.
A side effect of this is that if you wanted to try and get into a site that required a username and password, like CUK, you can do it without CUK knowing who it is trying to get in.
As for who it is, we can narrow the field a little to someone who knows enough about you that they know you post here and what your CUK name is. So unless you told lots of people IRL what your CUK name is, chances are it is someone else who hangs out on CUK.
If we know the date and time they tried it and can compare that to the list of people online at that time then based on previous experience, I'd be prepared to bet a decent amount of money that it was one of those people."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Evening all
Haw are we all?
I'm on a very packed train out of city.
There's a young girl with absolutely no ettiquette in front of me, she's wearing a very short skirt and has sat down on the floor with her knees up!
