Attempted Hacking

[GrandOldTeam]

We've noticed several hacking attempts on member accounts on the forum.

Clearly, the IP's involved have been blocked/reported.

It's not clever folks...

Is there anything we can do to prevent it?

I know we should have passwords that contain letters and numbers, but is there anything else?

Don't log out, stay logged in on phone, tablet, pc whatever, just stay online 24/7.

Appreciate you might now want to say on an open forum, but were the ip's in question also used by bonafide users who have posted on a regular / occassional basis ?

I tried logging onto GOT on my tablet yesterday and ballsed my password up plenty of times doing so, that was me though.

I'm just hopeless, can never remember my password as I always stay logged in on my PC, I'm like an old man with the technology!
