I'm not... I do not play any game consoles at all.

I had someone try and get in to my Facebook account, but again they failed. If you're using secure hashed passwords I would very much doubt they could crack it anyway.

Both myself and the owner of our site got notices as well. We're not pleased.

I just got two. However, when I logged in here, my original password worked without issue. Very odd. What would they accomplish? I checked the login link in the email and it looked like a direct link, not a redirect.

Mine occured at 7:24PM, IP addresses were 201.24.152.98
and 178.213.33.129

Dear JonUrban,

Your account on vBulletin.org Forum has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 178.213.33.129

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,
vBulletin.org Forum

I'm pretty sure the mails are legit. Especially since the guy with the first reply actually got his account hacked.
