        Someone’s trying to brute-force attack my account right now. Last night the site went into lock-down mode 7 times due to the quantity of dodgy sign-in attempts. This may result in valid posts being rejected etc, as the spam and login security automatically went to maximum. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused but the site has to defend itself.

        In case you are wondering, there’s no chance whatsoever of the attacks getting into my login as they are using the wrong username completely!

          The attack is ongoing. Lock down mode hasn’t been triggered since yesterday, so that’s good, but we’re still seeing around 10-12 malicious logins per minute.

            This attack is still ongoing…

            If you see this when posting:

            The site has most probably gone into lock down and isn’t allowing any posts.
