phpBB Discussion • Re: Increased spam activity for meettomy.site from compromised accounts

Setting the "user_login_attempts" to 99 for all users that haven't signed in since 1 Jan 2024. This will cause those users to complete a captcha before they can continue to login. For reference, this is the query I used:

Code: Select all

Code:

UPDATE phpbb_usersSET user_login_attempts = 99WHERE user_type = 0AND user_inactive_reason = 0AND user_lastvisit < 1704063600;

Nice idea, I can't see there being much user complaint as a lot of sites require you to reset your password if you have not logged in for x months (although maybe Jan1st is a bit too recent. Maybe 6 months is better?

(I had to reset a password only yesterday on one site I don't use often), not a big deal)
