Some users have informed me that they got email with "5 failed login attempts" which is an automated email generated by the forum software. i have seen this behavior on 3 different forums in the last week. Means, a spam bot figures out usernames and tries logging in with "most common passwords" ex. 123456 or qwertyui or using the same as username... please make sure your password is not guessable in 5 attempts before the forum blocks further attempts!
