Someone tried to login my TRF account 5 times and FAILED
Just got a message from TRF.
Mods - please move if this is in the wrong section. Could this be true? I am even terrified to hit reply to say Thanks for the warning! It reads : "Dear imono, Someone has tried to log into your account on Rolex Forums - Rolex Watch Forum 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: 144.131.8.41 All the best, Rolex Forums - Rolex Watch Forum" |

Log on and change your password ASAP and make it strong as in aphanumeric with some symbol(s).
Your would-be hacker is in Melbourne, according to an internet search.

Well the IP tracks to a Telstra account in Melbourne, so that would tend to fit...

That's scary stuff considering what you've been going through with the Australian transaction gone bad. Ugh.

Id only be glad to help, Rob." I replied and gave him the serial number of the watch. And wish him a happy trip! |

Remember all I see in his avatar is his Los Angeles location which made me thought he is in LA in the US. I have no idea his avatar was a disguise from Australia. |

https://www.rolexforums.com/member.php?u=69334 Am I reading that wrong, or does it mean he is accessing TRF using another IP address? What a piece of work, and so brazen, too!

Brazen is a nice choice of words, but I'm sure he'll try something else in the near future!! He will be caught sooner or later, let's just hope it's sooner!
