[LUG] Warning from my ISP

 

I have just received this from my ISP:

<As you may be aware, the number of attempted security attacks in the
UK has recently been on the rise, and yesterday we detected a higher
than usual number of attempts to gain access to FTP accounts on our
network. Whilst we are confident none of these attacks was
successful ....>

Users have been requested to change passwords. FTP access has been
denied to all accounts until this has been done. Has anyone else
received a similar warning?
