I am currently receiving the same e-mail repeatedly. I haven't signed on to the site in a while, but it seems that someone is also trying to hack my account.

I received the e-mail 51 times in 16 minutes.

They did this last year also - Yesterday's brute force attempts at password hacking

Please make sure you do not use your username as your password.

Thanks! It stopped a few minutes ago. I'm not using my username as a password XD, but I'm going to change it again.
Today I received a similar e-mail from instagram too and I'm a little paranoid :___D

be paranoid, it's the best way to keep your accounts viable... a letting-go attitude would open too much freaky doors to pirates.

Same here for me too:

Obviously someone is trying to attack vBulletin community.
