I am a graduate of tourism studies, just working from hand to mouth. Striving hard to be useful to myself and be helpful to others, but all in futile. I need a new direction because my hope is hanging in the balance. i sincerely need a job or help in anyways. I don't want to continue like this.

Fellow Nairalanders,

We have observed an ongoing password guessing attack against Nairaland members. The perpetrators have obtained a list of thousands of usernames and passwords from hacked websites & are systematically trying those passwords on Nairaland to take over your accounts.

If you have used your Nairaland username and password on other websites, they may be able to log in to Nairaland as you, mutilate your profile and send spam messages with your name. To prevent this, please change your Nairaland password to a unique password asap.

For the dozens of Nairalanders whose accounts have been affected, you would have gotten an unexpected login notification from Nairaland. All you need to do to secure your account is to logout, reset your password with this form, and correct your mutilated profile.

For those who are affected, we may scramble your password and log you out to force you to change it. Don't be alarmed. Just logout and reset your password with this form to regain access to Nairaland.

We have taken measures to slow the perpetrators down severely, but it's up to you to make sure that your password is secure.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

And here I was thinking it was a measure to counter the political post bots.

Seun, this does not make sense.

Just tell us you have an internal issue involving sabotage by compromised mods.

I experienced such issue and made a topic over it and was banned for it.

The truth is you have partisan mods who are banning users for their political views.

This reminds me of a similar arrack that occurred on your website in 2014 were many anti Buhari posters were purged with their accounts deleted .

A similar thing is happening on your website and its an internal issue from within your organization involving your staff who have access to users login details.
