SceneTorrents password reset confirmation?
Yesterday, I got an email from SCT claiming that I reset my password. I did NOT reset my password, so I find it very bizarre.
Am I the only one who got this email? What is more strange is that this request is made by someone from Romania/Bucharest ( The Romanian IP is shown below ). Was I exposed to attempted hacker attack? Or was it an error?
I’m not good at English, so please bear with it.
The content of the email is listed below:
Someone, hopefully you, requested that the password for the accountassociated with this email address ([email protected]) be reset. The request originated from 188.26.154.170 If you did not do this ignore this email. Please do not reply. Should you wish to confirm this request, please follow this link:
https://www.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx
After you do this, your password will be reset and emailed backto you. –SceneTorrents

I got this email yesterday, and yesterday SCT still worked.
@Ovisan: My username on SCT was different.
Re: SceneTorrents password reset confirmation?
Yeah but it doesn't work now so there's no point.

I fear that this could happen to other former SCT users or it could happen to users on other trackers. I also fear that this could happen on my SCC, TL, Revett, what, TBy and PTM accounts.
I know it is not relevant anymore, but still I'm surprised to see that someone from Romania was trying to hack into my account. What if this happened for several months ago? And I got banned because someone from Romania was trying to cheat? Would it be fair? The staff would assume that I live in Romania and this alone could give them a reason to ban me.
