I've received 49 such emails between 1:47AM and 2:40AM EST today. Does the admin want the IPs? Any advice? I assume there's not much we, as users, can do? Obviously my password is working. Seems kinda stupid that a spammer would want to hack a non-admin's forum account. It's not like they're going to gain access to any money here.

Instead of necro-bumping, why not post in this recent thread?

Because this one showed up as the most recent when I looked for a thread.

"Today, 07:43 "

Sorry, I was directing that toward this post, the post that necro-bumped it.

I have received 27 emails all with different ip addresses in the same instance.

I can post all the ip addresses if you wish to ban them

Edit: just noticed this is a old thread, my mistake.

It was merged with this because it's unnecessary to have multiple threads on the same thing.
