Weird thing just happened

[Aspire6]

Happened to me too.
Seems like someone is trying to guess our passwords.
Make sure they aren't simple.

I also got this error logging in for my first time, I'm connected through a multi-hop proxy for my own safety while using a RAM-based browser that's isolated from my main OS.

Too bad for them my accounts have randomly generated usernames with long, high-entropy, pass-phrases as passwords. If someone is trying to password-guess accounts, you can assume they are maliciously trying to uncover identities. These people look for a trail to follow, don't be the lowest-hanging fruit! Stay safe out there.

Admins is there anything y'all can do about this...Having to type in a CAPTCHA everytime I sign on is annoying.

Annoying for you is annoying for them.
In this case, be grateful for the annoyance, as it is preventing much worse from happening.

Tech admin thinks it's a DOS attack to hassle our members logging in. We were also down for around 5 minutes yesterday. But there is no threat to member safety.

As Rooster says, the captcha makes it harder for attackers, so the last thing we want to do is disable that.

Just type in the captcha and give our haters the middle finger!
