I'm very impressed with EIs vigilance.

I access my account from multiple devices, home laptop, work laptop, iPhone, all different ip addresses and I travel so ip address changes all the time.

So how do they know there's an attempt at hacking? If they are seeing multiple attempts to login to an account, it could have a virus on the server. In which case a good password should be enough to protect it.

You're not the only one this has happened to recently. Could you pm me that ip address?

If this is happening more than just very occasionally, surely E-I should consider contacting the authorities?

This would not need to identify the members whose accounts had been attacked.

Uk courts have decided that the evidence of a server's log file is enough to generate a criminal conviction under the computer misuse act when somebody tries to hack any part of a website.

But some folks may use the same password, or the same password root for different services.

Not to be advised of course but a lot of folks do.
