Is Someone Trying To Hack My Nairaland Account? by Rapmoney(m): 10:47am On Nov 20, 2016
I have received over 7 dozens of the message below on my gmail account that's connected to my NL account:

Dear Rapmoney,

This is your latest email confirmation code:
    ****
You can use it only once.
The previous code 4QM7PH7B8H was not used.

This process was initiated at 4:21am on November 15, 2016 by the following desktop device:

I don't log into my NL account without password. In fact, my account is always on 'logged-in' mode. It seems someone has been trying to access my NL account without success because the person doesn't have access to the many created passwords in my gmail box.

Is this an issue from NL or someone is trying to hack my account?

CC: Seun and mods.

Don't worry. It's not going to happen again. Just delete the mails and forget about it. Don't mark them as spam or you may lose legit emails.

I locked the thread because there's no more to discuss. Apparently some people still have more things to say, so I've re-opened the thread.

Somebody took advantage of a weakness in our software to use an automated script to send all those emails. This has been remedied by us.
