Topic: Someone trying to get to my account? - page 2. (Read 206 times)
I got the same e-mail about two days ago, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was referring to--either a new feature notification or that someone had actually tried to crack my password using the "forgot password" option. Now I'm assuming that the e-mail I got means the latter. Interesting.

So changing your password shouldn't be necessary.

So, should I change my password or what?

Whether someone trolling or you exposed your email somewhere. Another possibility is that the link you received is forwarding you to a phishing site.
