Silly bot...

Me too ...

[COOLDUDEGAMER]

Just had this again.

[djohnston]

I received this today, although I haven't logged in for over two weeks. I'm running Linux.

Any chance of pinpointing the source of the bot?

[Zagen30]

I've gotten this a couple of times over the past few weeks, including once about 2 days ago.

Damn thing locked me out for ages.. even the security question wouldn't work.. Finally got back in by requesting a new password.
Should have done this earlier.

I have this problem as well:
It seems as if I'm logged in OK (Oriolus is browsing this forum), but still I get the message "Login attempts exceeded"
I visited my account to try to change my email address, but I don't know how.
TIA.

Hitting request new password under I've forgotten my password (even though I hadn't) worked for me.

[Oriolus]

Thanks, that worked for me too!

Count me in.
