I tried logging on just now and got this error message:

You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to solve the CAPTCHA below.

After a few attempts I was able to log in. (Thos CAPTCHAs were a bitch) Does this mean someone was trying to hack into my account or what?

I get that all the time when I'm at work, but never at home, so I am guessing it has something to do with the firewalls and not necessarily the site.

That's just my guess.

Anybody else?

yup all the time past month.

Have asked Peter about it.

A few days ago I had this problem to when I tried to log in from my mothers place.
Had to do 4-5 attempts.

As best as I can tell, someone is trying to guess passwords of accounts. It is most likely just some automated software that is running, similar to the other SPAM junk seen from time to time, and there's unfortunately no way to stop it.

If your account has been attempted, just make sure you have a secure password (i.e. not something basic like 'password'), and that's about all that can be done. I can't actually see the failed attempts in any logs I've looked at, but I've searched around, and it appears this is what is happening - it has been happening to many boards other than this one.
