john luke Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Gents There have been several recent attempts made to log into this forum. Existing members' user names are being used and then attempts are made to identify the correct password. The forum software will automatically identify attempts to log on where an incorrect password is used on three occasions. At the present time there is no evidence to identify any particular person or group as being responsible. Could I please suggest that if any members here use the same password on this forum as they do (or indeed did) on any other Thailand based forums that they change their password as a matter of urgency. Thanks. John 1 3

Sorry Spicy, I always put them in Advanced, as the way the forum is set up, you can read anything that isn't in Advanced or higher without even joining. I don't agree with it, but, i'm just a mere poster ... 1
fygjam Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 It would significantly aid speculation if admin/mods provided the board names being attempted and the source IP address(es) of the hacker(s).

Thanks Alan Can only answer of how it works for me using Chrome. If I clear the browser history, I then have to re-enter my password. Do note though that for me this also clears out most of my passwords from other sites. I do use Google's password manager so my passwords are completely lost. Find using a password manager takes away my need to remember them, or worse write them down. 1

Sign out manually and try to sign in again. You should see a "Forgot your password?" prompt. Try that and see what happens.
