This is just an automated system that uses zombie PCs all around the world (hence the hundreds of IPs) and tries a list of common, easy to guess passwords, and then moves on when it fails.

All you need to do is make sure you have a good password, that cannot be easily guessed, and delete the e-mails. You can of course change you password if you desire.

Paul,
Why do you say this? Why couldn't I take that list of IP addresses and block them on my own forum? If those are known bad zombie PCs then I don't want them hitting my site for any reason, password hacking or otherwise. Knowing their IP address would allow me to add them to the blocked list on my site. Thus, I fail to see the harm in posting the IP addresses if others wish to do something with the list. Am I missing something here?
