Default What the Heck is going on?

Just got an email about my account being locked because someone tried to hijack it 5 times. I have a feeling I know why it happened too. I left some props at a forum and was trying to direct some possible traffic here and in doing so I said check out my work under my username here. It never even occured to me that someone would try to pull something like that. I guess because I know I never would. Lesson learned there. I would never ever give out my password and I hope that this didn't cause any problems. It will NEVER happen again, I promise.

Does anyone know how to track the IP address where it came from that OCC so kindly sent me? Not that I could do much, or want to, in the way of sending them a greeting, but I bet I would have a good chance of figuring out who it was. See what you get for trying to be a nice guy? The thought never crossed my mind that someone would try to figure out my password. I only gave my username as a form of thanks because I don't post there and I wanted to give something back. Never again.
