I posted last week in the general discussion about pop up adverts/ App Store redirects affecting the forum but literally had no reply from anyone official off this site. I assume security isn't high on the agenda?

The IP address seems to be in Germany.

You could complain to "abuse@plusserver.de"

And I have a list of names in my recent visitors list.

I believe that the recent visitors list is people who have looked at your profile here, nothing sinister. You will find my name there too now.

This is nothing to be particularly concerned about. As is the size of the forum there are always going to be people trying to gain access. As long as you have a password that is secure and not easy to guess you should be fine. This has been discussed here http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113525

To be fair it could be any scumbag who just so happens to see your name and tries and easy password combo or 2.

nothing to worry about really.
