this is a normal thing on the internets, don't be worried, just make sure to always have a strong password and NEVER use the same passwords with other accounts. If one password gets hacked all your accounts could be compromised

1234 is not good?
It's a usual thing. Like others have said, use a good password but be ready to act if/when your stuff gets hacked. It's unreal people think the future is all online apps and all this stuff when it's going to get all jammed up.

I'd recommend a very secure password. If you have any further suspicious account activity, contact me.

I used to run a pretty popular blog and if I got hassle from folks I would pay the "brats" at the MIT labs to this kind of work for me. It was not expensive. Those nuts can find anyone and anywhere, given proper motivation. Was revealing.
