    Never mind etiquette, nice view or not?
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      'ello Bear, not seen you in a while. I assume I missed the part where you tell everyone where you've been

          Gotta go drop DS1 at "Cubs" and pick up DS2 from "Beavers".

              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.
              Thanks Dave... I kinda understand.

              For the record, admin said it's happened to me and one other user (and admin themselves) this afternoon.

                I popped in earlier, although i just said i've been busy - which is true.

                And i will be for the next couple of months too. ClientCo is very busy and from now 'til April is going to be very busy getting Plan B really out there in the public domain.

                  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.
                  If you go through hidemyass, the ip address is blocked for CUK. Whether that's new this afternoon or not, I couldn't say as I've never used them before.

                    Evening all.

                    What a day!

                    Just off to general to wind up the Heathrow debate a bit more. Last I checked (when I left ClientCo at 1430) I had somehow really got PM-Junkies goat, so as to speak!!

                      If that is indeed the IP address that was used in an attempt to hack administrator's account, I'm not surprised it's been blocked
