    attempted breakin

    Hey guys, tzadmin sent me an email saying that somebody made 5 attempts to guess my password. He was using Tor Exit so couldn't be traced back. Maybe a person who wanted to sell something?

    THANK YOU!

    Finally someone brave enough to report these things.

    SO many people just keep quiet and put us all at risk.

    No one has tried to log into my account yet.

    Either that or they've already succeeded and I'm a Russian hacker.
