I'm not sure if you understood the question I was asking; I was not very clear. When a user logs in to his account you have an announcement to the effect that "the last invalid access attempt was on XX/XX/XX" or some such. This is the announcement I was talking about. I have apparently had a few such "attempts" in the last couple of months. I am wondering if someone is trying to hack my account, using my account number by accident or what... It occured to me that perhaps I was inadvertetly the source of these attempts by failing the Turing test. This could be the case if you log Turing test failures just like password failures. That is what I wanted to know about. No human here! :) Best, CCS ------------------------------------------------------ - Virtual Phonecards - Instant Pin by Email - - Large Selection - Great Rates - - http://speedypin.com/phonecard/start.html?af=743 - ------------------------------------------------------ ************************************************** * Craig Spencer * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ************************************************** --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
