Title: IRC bruteforcing attack
Post by: John (John K.) on April 24, 2013, 03:03:32 AM
Hey guys -

It's been some time since I logged in #bitcoin-otc, and suddenly decided to do so today. When I auth'ed with the nickserv, I was greeted by '51 failed logins since last login', by a handle known as 'thejohn!~Adium@12.250.157.102' .

Any reasons to be concerned about this? My passwords are all of suitable length(26 chars in this case including symbols), and never reused (thanks last pass and keepass). I guess I better start resecuring everything now that I'm 'on the radar' so to speak...
