    Default ** IMPORTANT ** Ensure your password for PNG is strong

    We have had a couple of BOT's on sending PM's over the past couple of weeks, along with a couple of users saying they had emails regarding someone or something trying to log in to their accounts 5 times etc.

    Please can you ensure your password for here (and in general, I recently fell foul of a paypal attack) is robust and irritating to use

    I had an email this morning telling me someone had tried logging in 5 times with the wrong password. IP address was a Tor protected one.
    So make sure your password is as robust as mine.

    Sure, no problem guys. This will keep you safe.

    Dear meritlover,

    Someone has tried to log into your account on Performance Nova Group - PNG with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

    The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 37.130.227.133

    All the best,
    Performance Nova Group - PNG
