Localbitcoins: Account has multiple failed logins from unknown IPs

[Findingnemo]

I think this the OP likely had an account with the same email address on another bitcoin exchange or service that has its database hacked/leaked. I think someone is trying permutations of the OP's hacked password on another site.

The OP should make sure his password is entirely unique, and not a permutation of his password elsewhere.

I use unique passwords and unique email addresses for each different site.

If it wasn't for LBC allowing login via username (which shows publicly on the feedback page), my account wouldn't be probed at all.

That is why they can't login to your account maybe.

Do you still use the same password?

Please change if yes then update you are getting the same failed logins warning!

It's very possible. Most of the times internet users use same login credentials to different sites and it results hacking. You can not just trust all the sites that they are storing encrypted password and the admins are honest.

I usually use very unique passwords for every single sites.

And you point?
I was responding to Quickseller not the OP.
I would appreciate few words instead of just quoting the posts. It seems you are trying to say that I did not read the answers and left a generic response. Is that it, what you meant?

You speculated that OP (almightyruler) is reusing login credentials, when he wrote two posts above yours that he uses a unique email address and a unique password on every site.

And it's a moot point anyway with how LBC allows logins via usernames which are public, and this is why OP is seeing failed logins from strangers trying to access his account.

Sorry if it looked a bit bitchy. I didn't really feel like writing a one-liner pointing that out. Perhaps you were just stating your point... I guess that was what you were doing.

Anyway... as malevolent stated, quickseller's point doesn't really make much sense either considering you can try to login on anyone's LBC account using just their username. (Although it would be applicable for pretty much any other site but LBC, i agree.)

Today I checked my IP log since I registered on Localbitcoin and I shocked that the failed login attempt was happening from time to time but I didn;t really notice that since I never left any fund on LBC before but now I am doing day trading on LBC so having few bitcoins there which made me worried when I see the failed losings but now I didn't see any so the problem with the passwords of LBC database,I guess!

Nah. It just simply means that whoever was trying to login on your account (using your LBC username) stopped doing so. It has nothing to do with LBC or their password DB..

So it must be a coincidence that I never get failed login attempt since I changed my password?

Anyway 2FA and login guard saved my bitcoins if there is someone tried to hack it.

We are even brother. Let's move on. I was indeed responding QS in that post.

With all those attempts someone determined might be trying to brute force themselves into your account, but with 2fa enabled you have a high chance of account not being compromised.
Just don't fall for the cheap tricks to give out codes when asked as this could be giving up access to your email and then your LBC account.
