Mine was hacked on the 4th of april. Apparently it's becoming more common, hacking them to send out spam.
Apparently all they need to do is run a script that constantly tries passwords. After a number of wrong ones, it will present you with a captcha code which once entered will let them continue trying passwords.
Why they don't have some of 15 or 30 minute lockout after filling out the captch box 2 or 3 times is beyond me.
