this has been going on for a while. someone will be trying top brute force accounts, people with simple passwords like 12345 are pretty screwed or if you password is in a dictionary.. pretty easy to think of a slightly complex password but the hacker only has to get access to 1 or 2 accounts with BTC in them to make it worth his time..
simple rules are
dont be stupid and use a password like Dave or Bob (you use these kinds of passwords then you deserve to get your money taken)
make sure emails arnt scam emails and that you log into the correct site not a clone

That could be a bot, or anyone in the world. Just do not click on the link and remove it from your mailbox.
either it's a bot or anyone it is trying to login in my account. and the useragent shows that it's by python so it's probably a large scale hack attempt.
I got another one last night too

It's a while that I haven't used my blockchain.info wallet in any forms (chrome plugin, mobile app, etc)
As the Python-urllib says, it's a script doing this login from a probably proxy with the specified ip.
