It should be : An alleged account Hack From Los Angeles (2 Days Ago) Because you provided no proof. No screenshots,, nothing. Take a screengrab of that alleged email and attach here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this wasn't you, someone else may be trying to access your account. These log in attempts were unsuccessful. 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 06/17/2023 02:16 PM.

Tripredacus Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The forum does show the account locking and also the LA IP address. However, that login attempt was using the same device you normally use. Furthermore, when you changed your forum password, it was done using a Moreno California IP address, which you continued to use that same day (6/17) and even made posts, such as this one: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184737-mental-health-awareness-month/page/19/#comment-1247114 The CA IPs that were used that day are registered to the same ISP as the ones you normally use, so it appears to the forum that it was your own device that generated the failed attempts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I've long held the belief that VPN's should not be granted login access. I no longer think that, but I admit that I used to. I know that other countries possibly require VPN's in order to reach MSFN so we perhaps need to allow VPN access. But I will submit that any MSFN Member with a history of suspicious activity (which I am not claiming that legacyfan falls into this category, I'm just "talking out loud"), should that MSFN Member be denied VPN login privileges? Moreno Valley, California hosts several VPN servers based on a quick non-thorough search. So does Los Angeles, California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then it's definitely an impostor, because the real legacyfan always told us he is from Texas. The fake one from CA needs to be blocked/banned until the real Texan legacyfan returns and shows the proof (like they do it on instagram) and his IP from Texas. Also, considering his public confession of stalking and putting dirt on MSFN (in the thread you've mentioned), I'd say the abuser must go.

There's literally a ton of posts where he always talks about him being from Texas, how cool Texas is, Texan women and weather, etc. How he moved to Texas from Eastern Europe, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
