Evidence submitted by Farhad
Hi. Somebody attempted to change my password from different ip adresses. It was several time. The last was yesterday. I would like to check these ip, maybe they have connection  with users from Wikipedia.--Farhad (talk) 18:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, it happens to editors with actual names as user names. , and unless there is a more specific concern and evidence that someone is harassing you, there isn't anything that can be done, or anything that should be done. If you look at the WHOIS records, the IPs are from all over the world, so it's unlikely that it is a concerted action. Just make sure you have a secure password that isn't guessable.

Suspected sockpuppets



 * Hi. Somebody attempted to change my password from different ip adresses. It was several time. The last was yesterday. I would like to check these ip, maybe they have connection  with users from Wikipedia. Thank you.--Farhad (talk) 18:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You can safely ignore these emails. If you do not respond to them, your password is unaffected and the IPs have no access to it at all. TN X Man  18:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but we have very difficult situation in ruwiki, that's why I need to check these addresses.--Farhad (talk) 18:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, you would have to check with the ru checkusers. Checkuser is not for fishing, so we cannot check these accounts without a reasonable suspicion of socking. Also, checkuser will not tie IPs to accounts. I hope this helps answer your question. TN X Man  19:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Those requests were from en wiki. One of users was hacked (from the same lawsuit), and his email's content were published in web.--Farhad (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You would need to give way more detail than that to warrant a checkuser investigation, including dates when the respective IPs reset your passwords. As I've said at the last case you've opened, the IPs locate to all over the world, and aren't obvious proxies. It might very well all be coincidental since your user name is an actual name.
