I want to encourage you all to have a strong password for your account, in light of some issues that have come up lately on phpBB boards around the world.
A few people have reported getting a message saying that they have exceeded the maximum number of login attempts here on the ToO, but it's their first attempt. That is because of this bot. If you get the message, it means that it tried and failed. We want to make sure that it keeps failing, so please consider your password and think about whether it needs to be upgraded. Capital letters, symbols, and numbers all help make a password stronger, and of course you should avoid the obvious ones listed in Darcie's quote above.darcie the wise tech person wrote:It is like a spam bot, but an automated bot that tries to brute force passwords. It tries the most commonly used ones like 123456, password, qwerty, abc123.
I know that in light of what's going on, this doesn't seem as important, but please just take a few seconds to make sure your account is secure. Thank you.
