Hackers? Bots?

Post by Tazman »

Twice this month, I have tried to log into my CLPEX account only to have a screen pop up advising me that I have enterred too many wrong passwords. Then I have to copy the letters and numbers in the scratched up box to prove I am not a bot trying to hack the system. But I wonder, is it bots trying to hack in? Or is somebody trying to guess my password?

Is this happening to any of the other folks who log into this website?

I've gotten it too - I wouldn't be surprised if it's bots, but as long as you're getting that message and then can log in - the security measures are working.
