See "Forum account access attempts" in the "General Discussion" thread. Either a forum Admin made a boo-boo or someone is trying to break into user accounts.

Wouldn't be the first brute force attempt on a phpbb board. I've seen it a while ago on another one where I'm a moderator.

Yes, my account was in the same state when I tried to log in. I also assumed that there had been a brute force attempt to compromise accounts.
