Idiot from Korea trying to log in as me.

I've just gotten a notification from The Cellar telling me:
Quote:
Dear John,

Your account on The Cellar has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 203.229.235.240

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:
http://cellar.org/login.php?do=lostpw

All the best,
The Cellar
That IP is from a pool belonging to Kornet, in Korea.

This is just a public service FYI, so that the users and administrators of the board are aware of the login attempts, and I make this post in the hopes that they will begin drop all packets originating from Korea at the router, As Is Good And Proper On All Networks.

The IP block is now banned. Thanks!

9 out of 10 it's a spammer who signed up with some variation on the name and forgot it or got that account deleted.
