	A Failed Hack Attempt Against Me... read it...


Hello readers. Today when I checked my email, I noticed I had recieved an email from Gaia Online with the subject heading Quote: Account is now blocked‏ I was curious as to the contents of the email, so I read it.. here is what it said... Quote: Hello "GA G8R" We have detected multiple failed login attempts have been made on your account, in a total of 5 times, therefore your account on Gaia Online has been blocked for 15 minutes. This is done to ensure maximum security for your account. You will be able to login again at Sat Apr 19, 2008 2:12 pm . If you are receiving this e-mail without trying to login at Gaia Online, you should contact the site administrator at inquiry@gaiaonline.com, and report this issue. At Gaia Online, we try our best to protect your account, but the best protection can only start with a strong password. Please consider the following when choosing your password: - Never use a "simple password" like your birthday, your dog's name, etc. - Use both number and letters in any combination - The longer the password, the better - Change your password often - Avoid using your password at Gaia Online on any other webpage If you have any questions, feel free to ask, we're always here to help. Be safe and have fun! - Gaia Online - http://www.gaiaonline.com Now see, herein lies the problem. At the time I recieved the email, I was sleeping. I had gotten off work this morning and went to sleep. I woke up about an hour after receiving the email from Gaia. This lets me know that someone knows the items I have and they tried to hack my account. Always be careful, fellow Gaians. ALWAYS. I have not ever given my password to a fellow Gaian, so I had hoped it wouldn't work. The hack attempt failed, thankfully. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Gaia may have it's share of problems, but if you take extra precautions, like having a really strong password, you can prevent yourself from being hacked. Had Gaia not prohibited the individual from trying to log in after 5 failed attempts, they could have continued to try to hack my account. But Gaia stopped them. I thank Gaia for that. Until next time readers- Georgia Gator · Sat Apr 19, 2008 @ 10:43pm · 0 Comments
