Has anyone else noticed an uptick in Host/Admin password reset requests on their DNN portals? 

I have received a few password reset emails over the past week, that I didn't request myself. No known breaches at this point, but I'm going to keep an eye on things and see.

So far, I haven't noticed this as an issue myself. I have some in my logs, but they don't appear to be out of the ordinary in frequency or otherwise yet. This might be a newer DNN penetration attempt, similar to the spammer registration thing we're still dealing with.

Most recent one came from 85.139.107.144

Of course that IP address originates on RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE).

If you try to go there you'll see a nice IIS7 splash screen :D

If you would stop using p@ssw0rd for all your host accounts you might not have this problem.

I am using host/dnnhost and admin/dnnadmin.

Is that wrong too?  :)
