I am getting messages about failed logins and am locked out from logging in on my computers. I have my login saved on my phone which is why i can post. The ip associated with failed logins is NOT my ip address
I’ve also seen some odd behavior with regard to login (failure even when given correct credentials). Given that the site’s been brought down quite a few times now, I’m betting it’s something malicious.
I’ve had several failed attempts to log on as well. Stating that I have failed at several attempts to log in and to retry in 15 minutes.
I actually got an e-mail from the site and it listed the IP address of the failed logins.
I did a look up and that address comes from Southern California and not Texas. The staff was copied on the e-mail so that is an address that is being used to cause whatever trouble is happening.
Hopefully that will help the admins here track down what is happening
+1, using tapatalk. Current user name and pw works fine with various computers, doesn’t work with tapatalk. weird.
Had several of the same problems. Had to reset my password to access, as I’m not cool enough to have the Net on my phone…
Yep, me as well. I go to an address which was linked in another thread in order to login now. That thread has disappeared for some reason. Is something up??
I have to access through that link as well. I can’t access it the normal way, and I also noticed the fact that the thread which spoke about disappeared. I hope that link isn’t sketchy or something, it does give me the same site but I want to be able to log on to the normal way through the normal we address. Also wondering what’s up…
Can one of you guys with that link post it or PM it to me?
Thanks…
i sent you a private message. Again i can only access this site threw the link that was posted in the thread that has magically disappeared. Im still getting multiple spam emails saying that a IP address other then mine is trying to access my account. Why hasn’t the staff chimed in to let us know what is going on? Im getting very concerned that unknown people is getting access to our personal info. Staff please let us know what is going on!!!
Someone please PM the link as well?
I have been unable to login for 24hrs. The site has been logging me out when attempting to post. Then will not accept correct PW to log back in. :help:
The thread that gave us the link to login on another entry has disappeared. Without that thread, I am not sure if the link will be available. Seems strange how a thread with that link would just disappear.
I have been dealing with it for a day or two. Any attempt to login I get the failed login, wait 15 minutes, etc…
I finally was able to login after resetting my password twice.
Should i be concerned about my info?
The reason a thread with an unknown IP address was moved is because I can’t think of a valid reason to have an unknown, unvetted, and possibly unsafe IP address being passed around.
If you go to a command line and ping M4carbine.net, it certainly will not come back to the IP address that some unknown and faceless entity posted to the forums.
I would suggest ceasing use of an unknown IP address. I would also suggest that by using the www.m4carbine.net URL, go to your password and change it to something secure.
Suggestion would be use one capital letter, one symbol (!@#$%^&*…etc), and at least one number (1,2,3…etc).
“!Password123#” is way more secure than “password123” or “password”.
TL; DR – change your password via the proper URL, navigate alternate IP/URL’s at your own peril.
Ok, I tried to do what you said and still having problems. It says wrong password, wait 15 minutes etc… How can I change my password through your link if I can’t login??
I also tried changing my password through the other link provided in the thread that has disappeared and when I did that and tried to login with your link, still getting the wrong password schpeel.
Again, I would only recommend using www.m4carbine.net to navigate to the site. Obviously, if you have a known authentic IP address, great use it, otherwise you are running the risk of going to a spoof site, or some “honeypot” trap.
Obviously, everything on the internet is technically a risk, but using unknown IP addresses is probably a generally bad idea, and increases your risk.
If you can not access the site via www.m4carbine.net, just wait and try again later.
I too was having the same issues logging in. I followed the posted link in the deleted thread being spoke of… I changed my password from that link, and now I am receiving spam emails, and failed log-in emails from that adress… dont use it fellas, its a sham.
Sorry, first post, just thought Id throw it out there.
Alright I am threadjacking my thread back to the original intent.
(1)I attempted to login on Saturday but received a failed login notification that I had exceeded my limit. Since this was in fact my first attempt to login, I was suspicious.
(2)I received an email from m4carbine.net stating that someone had tried to login as me from an address that wasn’t my address.
(3)Even after waiting the required 15 minutes, than 24, now 72 hours, my original password did not work.
(4)After changing my password via the forums (using incidentally the password that was not being accepted) I can now login, but still have no explanation from #1,2,3.
It’s working for me. No spam emails, no problems, and this isn’t my first post.
