(Copied straight from vB.com - sorry)

After logging on this afternoon, within 5 minutes, 2 of my members have contacted me on MSN saying that they've had an e-mail stating that someone with the IP of 65.10.69.9 has tried to log in to their account 5 times with the wrong password - and as a result, the account was locked for 15 minutes (or whatever the default setting is).

I've searched the forums with this IP, and there are no registered members registered under that number. I ran a trace through Command Prompt to see if it was a Spider, and it wasn't..

Can anyone give me any advice on what I can do? The IP has been banned for now..

Which vB version are you running?

9.69.10.65.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer adsl-10-69-9.mia.bellsouth.net.

from that i read that the guy is from miami, but i could easily be wrong, from the states atleast. try searching your forum for *.mia.bellsouth.net
