Dear Molly,

Someone has tried to log into your account on boards.ie 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: 188.165.60.35

All the best,
boards.ie

Is it just my account that someone is constantly trying to break into or is this occurring for other members too? Is there a way to make my account more secure? As in do I have the option of adding a capthca or something similar to my log in?

Cheers.
