Account Hacking Attempt!

My account was attacked today. Looks like they failed, but locked the account after 5 attempts. Here's some info on the IP

Is this just me or are others experiencing this too?

I don't really understand why someone would want to hack anyone's account on this site (except maybe a mod or admin). What are they going to do, ask a question without a license?

OK, but I still don't understand. Seems like a lot of work just for the chance of posting a link or two.
