Password reset e-mails

    Around 2.15 yesterday afternoon I received about 30 password reset e-mails within a couple of minutes of each other.

    I never made such a request and wondered if this could have been caused by a glitch, as I can't imagine any individual attempting to access my account could make so many requests in such a short period. The link looks genuine (although I didn't click on it) - there's no way it could have been as a result of phishing is there?

    Well of course I'm ignoring them in that I'm not going to go through the process of clicking on the links. This thread was started to alert the Site Development team in case there is an underlying systems issue.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    There are no glitches from our side. I'm assuming this was just caused by a bot and you can indeed ignore them. Afraid I can't really follow up with more details because our system for tracking IPs for password resets is horribly broken at the moment. They appear to have all come from the same IP, but some encoding issues messed up the actual IP.
