Someone from China attempted to break into my account

The forum alerted me to the fact that someone from a Chinese IP address attempted to log in to my account yesterday. I've since changed my password for safety's sake. Just curious if others have had that happen in the past day or so.

Do you keep money or other valuables here? If not, don't worry about it.

I wonder if I could get a Chinese IP through TOR.

I'm not worried about it that much, just curious if others have had issues recently.

Yeah, the bad guys want your e-mail info and password, and the idea is that most people tend to use the same password more than one place. And the bad guys are after everybody's info these days.

that's true, on both counts, people do use the same passwords, but i've observed that many are paying more and more attention to the security presentations and all that they are being exposed to for that security.
