NI Hacker

[cclarry]

I had 20 separate attempts to Log In to my Native Instruments
account from Talahassee Florida in my Inbox this morning!

Anyone else experience this?

[JoeGBradford]

No issues here. Looked at my NI account and there doesn't seem to be an option to set up 2 factor authorisation

Thanks for the heads-up Larry. Nothing here either.

Wow... That's a worry!

Have you checked to see if your email address has been listed in any data breaches?

Yeah that is the downside of registering for lots of freebies and deals.. I tend to use a more junk email address for small devs and then a main one for the larger more reputable companies. Still no guarantees though.. larger companies still get hacked too at times unfortunately...

Very useful site though ?

Yes, I got an email from NI blocking this IP from the same place…

I wonder if somebody took exception to this ?

I really don't have that much NI products to warrant being hacked...but hey...whatever..
at least they weren't successful...

I heard that it was someone who'd just realised that he'd wasted half of his life trying to find a use for an NI voucher.

My next door neighbor had his back account emptied the other day by card cloners.  The bank said that since the troubles in the East, these attacks have increased.

They need to fill their war chests with something, why not VSTs?

Haha.. I considered that when I first came across it, but he seems to be one of the good guys ?

It's often recommended by banks, governments, etc.

To me,, that's more of a reason to avoid it....YMMV

PS to all keep the politics out of these forums. You agreed to that rule when you created your Bandlab account.

Yes, I did expect there may at least one of those comments ? It's not about whether I think either of those organisations are great, they're more just as an example that it's widely used and is regularly reviewed from a cyber security perspective.

I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't trust it ?

I use it personally and also for family, etc.
