Yep, I received it also. He's picking people that haven't previously been involved in his threads which may mean that it isn't dipshit after all.

Actually, this might just be Stingray trying to get in after a few beers.

The behavior looks a lot like a brute force attack. No one account is ever attempted more than once in a row, though repeated periodically. It's pretty much:
Try a username/password. Fail
Try another username/password. Fail
Try another username/password. Fail
.
.
.
Try the first username/password. Fail
Each from a different IP address with random time intervals between.
A 3 tries and you're locked won't really work in this attack due to the long time intervals and IP hopping, unless someone sees something I'm overlooking? Suggestions welcomed of course... I am banning the IP addresses used in the attack which is having a pretty good effect in stopping the attempts, but more IP addresses are easy to get...

I got same thing AFTER I changed my password.
I thought it may be just part of the password change routine, but didnt click on it just in case.

It really doesn't matter. That list is short so he's probably just going down a list of names. He doesn't care as long as he does some damage.
