I awoke this morning to this email:

I have not been on the forums for some time as I no longer have an FRS. A quick Google reveals the IP is out of China which leads me to believe that this is a true hack attempt. I suggest to all to change your PW to something long and complicated also to forum owner to check IP logs for other intrusions and considering blocking the offending IPs.
