Someone trying to access accounts here?

I haven't been here for about three years but I thought I'd drop in and mention this anyway.

I got an automated email from the forum this morning telling me someone had failed to log in to my account 5 times and would be locked out for 15 minutes as a result. I checked my profile before logging in and the last activity was back in 2010 so they didn't have success. The mail gave me the offending IP, which appears to be in St Petersburg (oh boy them russian hackers).

So, yeah. I don't know why they would hit FF accounts or me, maybe thinking it is a dead forum that people won't notice and hope the passwords are the same as steam accounts?
Just thought I'd post in case anyone has an awful password and wants to change it, or if there is anything the admins could do with the heads up.
