Is this a legit email from Oople?
I just received an email.....
Dear Squidzilla, Someone has tried to log into your account on oOple.com Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes. The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 117.173.20.235 All the best, oOple.com Forums The IP address listed is from Beijing... so im quite intrigued if it is legit why they are trying my account?

Don't worry about it. It's been happening a few times recently. I've already banned some subdomains.
They use general passwords - such as your username (even vBulletin reports to me if you have used your username as a password) And then a few common passwords like 1234 or 'password' etc. They do this to gain access to a legit account to post up spam - that looks genuine. Companies pay for services like this, then a couple of years later contact me to beg that spam is removed since google recognises them as spammers and downgrades their google ranking. So - nothing to worry about. Please make sure your passwords are proper passwords. If someone's account is hacked just give me a shout. I will go ban this sub domain now.

Similar IP address is listed TODAY on stopforumspam - so anyway I've already blocked 117.173.20.XXX - I'll block 117.173.XXX.XXX as they are all in China from what I can see.

If you do, please list up the IP so I can block it, cheers!
As I say - nowt really to worry about. They're hitting thousands of forums not you specifically.
