This is annoying spam that needs to be prevented.

Edit:

Added a GMail filter to automatically delete the annoying emails.

If you checked "Remember Me?" whenever you last logged in and just close your browser when you're done browsing instead of logging out, then these brute force attacks won't affect you.

They only lock you out from logging in, but if you're already logged in, then you can still use the site as you would any other day.

As for account locks, for the reference, I've got a total of 66 e-mails.
