    Thank you to the powers that be

    And to the watchers of the forum. I got an email that said someone had tried to log into my account several times. It was a spam IP address. I stay logged in on my phone and haven't logged in on the computer in a very long time.
    I am changing all my passwords. Thank you for watching out for me. The ip addy is 117.139.28.140 and the spam forum says it is in China

    We have had several members receive the "Failed Log in Notification" email message.
    In checking the IP addresses that were identified as where the log in attempts originated; most of the hacker IP addresses are n China, Russia and South America; probably robots making the rounds.
    Just to be on the safe side, log in and check your profile info and make sure you have a secure password containing both upper and lower case letters and a number or two. I also got the same message.

    I changed the password. It was a good one but I added a symbol to the new one for good measure.
