I got this e-mail today. Either it's phishing spam, or someone was trying to hack my account because I haven't tried to log in today at all.

Dear Ike,

Your account on Boat Design Forums 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: 93.114.40.158

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

Obviously, you need to bring this to the attention of Jeff.

The above is an email sent by this site if someone enters the wrong password more than 5 times.
It appears someone or some bot from that IP was trying to login to your account which caused it to be locked after 5 failures. I've blocked that IP now.
