some one trying to log into forum under my account?

Not this forum. How serious is this ? The forum sent me a email saying that some one has tried to login under my account and used the incorrect password 5 times and the account is locked. They also gave the IP address of person trying to log in. I have never got anything like this before. A quick search of the IP address list Germany, I am not in Germany.


Edit: I wonder if it could just be the forum spamming me to login. I have not been to the forum in a couple years. Its a BBQ forum,lol.

Could be something as simple as another user with a similar name accidentally typed your name in, and tried several times. I wouldn't worry about it. If you are concerned, change your password and make sure it's complex.
