Login Difficulties

Post by KangaMINI »

Hi Everyone-

I've just now been told about the login troubles that people have been recently encountering getting into the KCME forums. The forum software is currently at the most recent release version, so there is no maintenance/upgrade for me to perform (yet). I have no proof, but my suspicion is that there is some kind of automatic attack that's grabbed usernames and is trying to use some form of dictionary attack on passwords.

Since the phpBB is a popular forum application, it is a popular target for hackers. As such, I recommend that you always use a different password for every website that you visit just as a precaution - I have no reason at this time to think that there is anything to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to change your passwords every 6-12 months anyway.

Happy St. Patrick's Day :)
