I thought it was common practice to not allow logins for some period after like half a dozen failures.
Indeed but in this particular case they're using a large number of IPs, over 3000 on the last list I saw.
yeah and im thinking from an early 2000 perspective to where not being able to login for an hour was not necessarily a big deal. Whereas now so much of our life is online its not really as laid back a proposition.
