Me too. My IT person says there is a ton of attempted attacks on websites by Russian hackers. My company site, which we use for payments, has been hit multiple times this week alone. None got through, but the vendor responsible for processing our credit cards has upgraded the security protocols twice yesterday alone. Jerry

I've also been getting similar notices getting on Facebook and my bank keeps giving me texts for requested 6 digit codes which I never requested.
Someone from Africa tried to send money from my bank account 3X through the Remitly app, also tried to use my PayPal and Amazon account and the latest from Java, Indonesia.
Seems like someone is getting access to my computer! I opted for getting text notices before getting access to important online business.
Be careful out there!

I had to switch to Google Chrome yesterday to log on. I have an older computer with Safari, I can't update the older computer because it is now deemed obsolete so I used my newer computer with Chrome, it allowed a login but now I have the Cloudfare security each and every time I check in. If it keeps us secure great. It would be nice if it is not needed.
Enjoy while you can.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I logged out of CF and then back in. I use Firefox (Mac) and when logging out was informed by the forum that all cookies would be cleared. Logged back in and all seems pretty normal.

Just encountered it. Thought it was because I hadn't logged on for several months, but now I see that others are experiencing it as well. Is this a new policy of Corvette Forum for their own security or is someone pfishing?

I have recently had the same experience. I'm glad that it is preventing anyone from getting our info.

No more issues since I logged out and deleted the cookies. Had to do this on each device or computer I used to acess this site.
Sorry some feel this post was not helpful but thanks to 67:72 this helped me clear the issue.
