    Apparently it's a proxy in China on several blocklists. Spammer probs. Too bad the forum has been spam-proofed.

    You're probably fine, but yeah, time to change up all your passwords. And not just for this site.

    Just for some additional information read this: http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_221.12.173.130

    The site basically says the IP show behaiour similar to a forum spammer and has been doing this in a lot of places. The IP has also been blacklisted on multiple sites. From all the changes in the user agent string I guess this is just one guy who set up a bot to try and spam a bunch of forums.

    It's probably nothing but if you are really paranoid scan all the ports on your computer and make sure there are no processes using unregistered ports as this could be a sign of remote access and monitoring of your computer.

    I had a similar thought, but I haven't spoken to her in years so... :p

    Cheers for the info though, the rest of you. It's good to know.
