I had an e-mail today from the forum, telling me that someone had made 5 unsuccessful attempts to log in to my account, but each time they got my password wrong. They gave me the IP address of the hacker, and it turns out to come from China. Why anyone would want to hijack anything on this forum is beyond me, but I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience?

Probably just an automated spam bot of some kind.

It's a good idea to change your password from time to time. And make it hard.

I've just had one from Missouri, might be time to change as well.
