OmegatronPrime Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Greetings! Could someone please unblock my IP address: 67.191.162.156 Thank you.
wolstech Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 It was blocked for failed IMAP logins. Did you save the wrong password in your mail client? Unblocked. 1
OmegatronPrime Posted September 19, 2017 Author Posted September 19, 2017 Possibly. Thanks for the help.
OmegatronPrime Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 I have been blocked again---think someone's trying to hack my account (obie.jay@groovetunez.tk). Could someone please unblock it again? thank you.
wolstech Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Failed IMAP logins again. Do you have a phone or mail client set up anywhere to check mail? If so, that will cause this if the password is wrong. Hacking is not going to cause the block you're getting since it's originating from your own network. A mail client or cell phone with the wrong password definitely will cause this though. Unblocked.
OmegatronPrime Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 I do have an account on my laptop that might be causing the problem---the only flaw in that thinking is that that laptop has been offline for several hours and I have been blocked again. I will disable the IMAP access once I can log into my email server again.Found the culprit---there was an IMAP account on my phone which has now been deleted.
Krydos Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 You've been unblocked again. Hopefully it stays this way now.
OmegatronPrime Posted October 6, 2017 Author Posted October 6, 2017 Been blocked once again...sigh... I don't know where the culprit is this time... Unless someone is trying to access one of my accounts. Is there a way to find out where the attempts are coming from, and can I disable my IMAP access? Sorry to be such a frequent flyer...
wolstech Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 IMAP again. Do you have any other phones or tablets with an email account set up? There is no way to just disable the IMAP access unfortunately. To my knowledge, there's no good way to find the specific device from our end. All we see is your public IP address making attempts. What I can say is that whatever is getting you blocked is on your network since it's showing up as a Comcast connection. If you turn off your cell phone's Wifi, that would eliminate the cell phone as a cause.
OmegatronPrime Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 And again it's blocked.*sigh*I've turned off the WiFi on my phone and tablet---hopefully this will finally fix the problem.
