someone tried to hack my account

[Bryce]

I just got an email from Lateral-g.net that someone tried to login to my account 5 times using the wrong password. The IP address was 93.114.40.158

There has been several reports of stolen account from many social networks, same as bloggers' accounts, forum members accounts and personal/financial infromation from buy/sell websites, fortunately it hasn't gone too far, since I haven't known about any stolen bank account or big amount of money (although there has been money involved) so watch out for your information guys, be REALLY careful, and try to avoid buying by internet in a little while, because I'm pretty sure there's going to be an attack to the internet ANYTIME soon.

There's 10's of 1000's of attacks every day... denial of service attacks - hacking attempts... The only thing you can really do is to be vigilant. Don't log in to your sensitive accounts from "free" wifi sites... or public wifi sites... Change your account passwords every so often. And never go to a website from an email no matter how real it looks. I go to the website from on my own if I get an email like that regardless of the question or information in the email. If it's real the same info will be on the real website... but I never use the link included in the email.

lots of this going on. I got an email through Facebook from a member here that needed money fast. Of course it was bs, but they're getting trickier in their scams.

I read something about hackers were hacking computers so that when you viewed your bank webpage it would show no new transactions except the hackers were pulling money out and the only way to tell was call the bank, ATM, or monthly statement.
