I've been informed that someone with an IP address in China has unsuccessfully attempted to log onto my account. Has this happened to anyone else?

This seems to me to be a VBulletin issue (forum software) as am seeing it knocking about on similar forums (attempted account access).
For example, easy to scrape domains & look for VBulletin identifiers, such as on this forum:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en" id="vbulletin_html">
Mana Acoustics Racks / Bright Star IsoNodes Decoupling >> Allo DigiOne Player >> Pedja Rogic's Audial Model S DAC + Pioneer PL-71 turntable / Vista Audio phono-1 mk II / Denon PCL-5 headshell / Reson Reca >> LFD DLS >> LFD PA2M (SE) >> Royd RR3s.

Me too but Ip address wasn't in China.
Change your pass word to a complex one including numbers and symbols and might be worthwhile also removing any sensitive info by deleting old pms.

Yep there has been a few attempts over the last few months mostly from China. I suggest changing your password and clearing any old pm's that may have info in them.
I will move this to the combined thread Mike.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
