I received three e-mails from the webmaster saying that someone under the IP address 31.192.105.125 is trying to log into my account . They tried 3 times and failed . Anyways , I changed my password just in case . Why would someone want my account , I only have 20 posts , lol .

P.S. No spam from me

Roberts answer
"Yes. They have five attempts, then the account is blocked. An email is sent to the account holder letting them know their account has been blocked and the IP address used to try and access their account."

Country Check - Russian Federation, IP address 31.192.105.125

I'm sure someone here on DR1 could explain this as I have no clue.
