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

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    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.

    It is if clients are pming you private info for bookings like number or email with real name in the addy. Might not be important to you but it is important.

    CID looking through E-I's server logs? Is this really what you are suggesting?

    No it is not and I do not really think that you believe that I am.

    A letter from E-I stating what had happened together with the relevant log entries would constitute a complaint that would have to be considered. Then the computer crime folks would approach BT and ask for the logs for the IP address and the ID of the subscriber. The evidence of those logs might then be used in court. Indeed, I would expect that the UK computer crime folks would be a lot more interested in the BT logs as they would then be able to see what else the purported miscreant had been up to.

    (I say BT because, before the posts were edited, the IP address of the reported attack was visible and a lookup indicated that the address was in the range used by BT for their broadband customers.)
