    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.

    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.
