It happens every few months.
As long as your have a secure password, then you have nothing to worry about.

It ain't people, it's likely one person, with software designed for it.

Now would be a good time to change the directory name of your admincp/modcp. If it happens again a few month's later, change it again!

As long as you do not have common/easy to guess passwords there is nothing to worry about. The vBulletin lock-out system more or less makes brute force almost impossible.

That said you'd be surprised how many accounts they can find simply by trying the 5 or 10 most common passwords (including the username as the password.)

A site like VB.org with tens of thousands of users if they try a hundred users they can probably get 2 or 3 accounts.

It's all percentages.

Good so a long, alpha numeric password is perfect for vBbulletin
