account got attacked?

i received an email that someone attempted to login on my account.

Quote: Your account on Guild Wars Forums - GW Guru has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. should i be concerned, and if so, whom should i talk to bout this?

The lock should be lifted after a short time.

Pretty much anyone can do this. All they need is your account name, and to log in 5 times with passwords that don't work. Unless it begins happening frequently, I wouldn't pay much heed to it.

If it does start happening frequently, though, let me know.

I hate people that do things like that. I have a friend that is a hacker, and although its pretty low thing to do, at least he's on my side so if anyone tries to hack me, he hacks 'em back.
