Before you choose the fibre wifi plan from sonic, please be aware that they charge an extra 17.20 in taxes! This is mostly associated with the phone line, which you cannot opt out from.

So instead of 50 a month for gigabit wifi, youre looking at $67/month.

BUYER BEWARE

Those of you unable to get in it's not just you.

Today's problem is a global cyber issue with php.

Steenbok is on the case.

Someone has been trying to get into an account similar to a Microsoft account or a Microsoft account.

For years, I mean years, I have received codes I never requested that claim I or someone else requested it for a password change. However, it is not every day. They've started again. They don't have my password but it is much easier to crack a code that only runs from 000000 to 999999 instead of cracking a password that runs from "FRLG.ips" to "Serial$$36Lain1188".

Because they send so many, it appears their attack method on me, and on others, is to just keep sending the code and entering in a 6-digit code blindly until it matches with the code sent to me which they are incapable of accessing. In other words, they could keep entering the code 804404 until the code in my emails is indeed 804404.

How can this be stopped? How can a company, Msft, stop this?

The probability of only one attempt is 1/1000000. However, if they keep doing it, which they are, the probability (independent of prior failed attempts) of their serial attempts on the next day is actually 1/80000. This means if they have 20000 targets at once, and attack for the following four days in a row, they should succeed in getting access to around one account. How can this be stopped?
