I received this e-mail few times in last days and it is a bit disturbing. I know that everything is fine, it is just someone trying to guess my very long password, but still, I would like to know a bit more about what is happening.
In my account settings I can see log of successful login attempts. What about adding unsuccessful login attepts to the log too? At least a summary of the repeated attempts which resulted in the mail cited above. The summary should contain who, from where and how he/it is trying to get in.
It is possible that the unsuccessful login attempts are just my bot and I need to fix it, or it may be some attacker from far away and I can just ignore it (and maybe change password to something stronger). Or it may be someone nearby I know and should not trust anymore. Who knows... The point is, I have a disturbing e-mail in may mailbox and I cannot do anything about it.
