    On July 19th I received a Failed Login Notification from Boards.ie. I googled the IP address included in the email and discovered that, from my understanding of the situation, someone using my boards username seems to have been reported for spamming? The IP originates in the US apparently.
    Apologies for my cluelessness, is there any possibility of my boards account having been hacked or phished or something?

    I've passed this onto Dav and Darragh, as well as Ross and Conor in case it's a technical issue. One of them will get back to you shortly.

    Conor has just got back to me and confirmed that it's a spambot and that this sort of thing happens all the time. More importantly, he's confirmed that it's nothing to worry about.
