Log in every time???
« on: February 15, 2011, 19:39:59 »
For the past three days I've had to log in using my user name and password.  I've checked the Log In Forever box and yet I still have to log back in.  Anyone else having this issue? :o

As of this morning (wed 16th) I still am having to re log in.

Another problem that I am having is that when I click on "show unread posts" it displays nothing. I had to scroll through the forum to find this thread.

This problem happens at home as well as at the shop so I don't think it's my computer.

Mine is good now that I clicked on the "stay logged in" box after I had to log on.    Maybe it's the 2012 thing starting to mess with our computers ..    :hmmmm:

Not fixed here either.

I'll try clearing my cache and cookies and let you know if that changes anything.

I temporally disabled the Image Shack Plug-in just to eliminate that from the equation. If it happens again that I will add it back and disable something else that was recently added to the forum. I will also check the logs tonight when I get home to see if I can find root cause. Thanks for your patience.

Log in every time??? - WARNING PLEASE READ ASAP
« Reply #21 on: February 17, 2011, 00:17:12 »
Warning Please Read

Got home really late from work tonight so just now getting to look at the logs. I was surprised to find 10's of thousands of failed login attempts. Even for non active members. It's become obvious pretty quick that someone is running a script to try and guess members passwords. What I can tell you is that this hacker is sitting behind a TOR which makes it pretty much impossible for me to track back to source without a lot of work and resources I don't have. There are a lot of reasons why someone would do this. Most likely for a financial gain. Once gaining access to your User Name, Email Address and Password they will take that information and try logging into sites like Paypal with it. Another reason would be someone that just doesn't like Ohio Reef and wants to do it harm. Less likely but possible due to the knowledge it takes to create and execute this kind of activity. With this said please ensure your password to Ohio Reef is unique. It is not a good idea to have the same password as you would use for your online financial transactions.

To give you an example of what I am seeing in the log. Below is a filter of just one of 100's of IP address that is attacking ohioreef.com. As you can see it is passing the username and a password and will continue to do so until it gets a successful login.

There are things I can do to combat these malicious attacks but it is not going to be an overnight fix. So please be sure to protect yourself having a unique complex password.

Brian, since these attacks all come from a single IP address, can't you automatically block an IP address based on failed log in attempts.   Granted they will just change their IP address, but it should slow them down, and possibly get frustrated.

Thanks for the update Brian.  I'm sorry this has turned into such a PITB for you.

It would have to be an SMF targeted bot that gets in as a guest in order to collect usernames to try, right?
