    I did have a quick look around but didn't find the thread you refer to and so I posted my own here. Thank you for linking me in though.

    Interesting that they're from all over rather than just Luhansk.

    Default Alleged false log in attempts

    On 11 July 2015 I too received the following message purporting to be from the Small Wars Council:

    Dear Tasmanian Devil,

    Someone has tried to log into your account on Small Wars Council 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: 178.175.131.194

    All the best,
    Small Wars Council

    A check with iplocation.net idicates the ip address given is allegedly Trabia-network Data Center, Chisnau, Moldova Republic.

    Regards.

    Tasmanian Devil.

    I received a notice as well, and my IP (94.23.6.131) was located to OVH in France, which is a popular hosting company to use for nefarious actions. They do very little to verify identity.

    Also, they're from all over because that's how a distributed cyber attack works.

    Another member reports activity with an IP address that is ostensibly in Sweden, but has several anti-spam website alerts: 178.16.208.56

    Default Wider context?

    For those interested in the possible conext for such attempts please view the main Ukraine military thread, where Outlaw 09 has posted three posts on the issues:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...=22315&page=54

    I have accordingly deleted the three posts here.
