ALEP would be

* Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners

* association of employment and learning providers

* Aboriginal Landcare Education Program

* Acute localised exanthematous pustulosis

Seems to be the Romanian name for Aleppo too.

And of course it's 4 random letters, which if random in say 32 character code would have 28 attempts to get. If those characters are letters without IOQZ it would show up once every 8000-9000 codes generated, 12k for a 24 character code.

Does anyone know what (presumably conspiracy theory) this refers to?
