[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1821636, member: 204485"] A few days ago I received an email notification from Apple iOS MacOS Help | Fix Mac iPhone iPad | Buying Tips | Mac-Forums (its a mouthful isn't it?) See Below; [FONT=Times New Roman]"Dear Rod Sprague, Someone has tried to log into your account on Apple iOS MacOS Help | Fix Mac iPhone iPad | Buying Tips | Mac-Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes. The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 192.88.134.5 All the best, Apple iOS MacOS Help | Fix Mac iPhone iPad | Buying Tips | Mac-Forums"[/FONT] I looked up the IP address on dbip an online Geolocation site in the US and found; 192.88.134.5 or cloudproxy11005.sucuri.net is an IPv4 address owned by Sucuri and located in Menifee, California, United States. This doesn't tell me a lot other than, that is the IP address allocated by the users ISP, however it certainly reduces the possibility that it was anyone I know or who lives nearby. I only just changed my password for Mac Forums so I'm not too concerned but it is the first such email I have received for MF. BUT, and I just made the connection, although it took me a while to find it I received this notification while trying to login to MF's website on 12th May and this is also from Sucuri. Can anyone shine any light on this? [ATTACH=FULL]29949[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
