someone tried to access my account

I just got an auto email from the system saying someone tried (and failed) to access my account 5 times in a row. This is their IP:
92.241.190.188

Could an administrator contact me? thanks!

same here... possibly has something to do with the gawker incident. I hear spammers are trying the compromised logins on other sites.

The site is doing what its supposed to do, and block those people.

Just make sure your password is something secure (ie. not the same as your username or different from the one you have on gawker) and you will be ok
