Looks like an ex-roomie tried to log in to our household server (as me) that they never accessed a single time while they were here, and tried to guess my password (and got locked out).
It's a dummy account I use for internal testing, but has an obscure, misspelled translation of my name in it, and the origin is their dad's house. So I know who it is, and that it's on purpose. And I get a notice if it's accessed, because it is for _testing shit_.
@AskTheDevil ...but why?
@AI78 Possibly _because_ they thought I'd see it and annoy me, but they're not that subtle usually.
Probably to see if there was any way to cause trouble, or be where they're not supposed to be, or thought they were getting away with something.
@AskTheDevil I had an ex-boss that did that at work. No clue why (he left, wasn't fired) but about six months after he'd left we saw some weird activity on a server. That product didn't use AD and was hardly ever used. There was a IT management account on it for like helpdesk people that he still had the password to I guess. He changed a few things, cut the CIO out of the system, etc... We traced the IP and it had happened twice in the same day.
@AskTheDevil Once from the company he had gone to work for, once from assumedly his home.
I gathered all the evidence and got the CIO and legal involved. He got a C&D and his company let him go. No good reason for it. Like I thought we left on okay terms?
