Has anyone received a password reset email that they hadn't requested?  Also my old password stopped working and had to request a new one and after that it blocked my IP for 900 seconds....

I received one on btc-e some weeks ago. Didn't have requested it either. I wonder why someone should try to do that? Does a hacker hope to get shown the email address or something like that?

if he requested password reset, he already knows your email, since your email is the login on btc-e

Right, hm, i have no idea what it could be good for then. Maybe someone had his hand on their mailserver or something like that? I had no problems logging in though. And btc-e has no coins from me anyway.
