Pennywize now lets you direct the failed logins to a different URL.

I use Pennywize, these days I simply wouldn't be without some sort of password trader/brute force protection.

What I've been doing is killing the accounts of people who obviously have compromised passwords and sending them an E-mail asking them to get in touch so I can issue them a new ID/PW. I've found that the people how get in touch never seem to have another problem, leading me to believe their ID/PW was hacked by someone else, not traded by them. The ones who don't get in touch (who have also been consistently the ones with PW/IDs coming form the most subnets) tend to chargeback.

The conclusion is that the worst offenders buy a site, then trade that PW/ID on a board, and when they get caught, they charge back.

Again, another example of VISA and MC not giving a shit about people who are just criminals as long as they are cardholders.
