Forum Security

Hi,

Has anyone else had an email with similar wording?

"We have detected 3 failed log in attempts to your account from Chelsea, Royal Kensington and Chelsea, SW10, United Kingdom.
If this wasn't you, someone else may be trying to access your account. These log in attempts were unsuccessful and we have blocked the IP address from further attempts so no action is required. You may however want to change your password for greater security, especially if you use the same password on other websites.

If this was you, you can safely ignore this email and you will be able to sign in again at 17/11/17 00:08. "

At the bottom of the email was a link to this address [redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com%2Fsettings%2Fpassword%2F]

It wasn't me, but I have changed my password and user name via the main forum, not the link.

Strange.

Thanks for the heads up. Checked my email and I haven't had anything like this. But you can never be too careful.

That link does not look like a link that would work to get to any site as it contains spaces(the symbols) its more like a file title. I may be wrong of cousre.

I have googled it and tried it (on a well protected machine), its not working, and google has no trace on it.
