Hi

Today received the 2º mail from Comodo Forum saying this:
This mail was sent because the 'forgot password' function has been applied to your account. To set a new password click the following link:

Does anyone have the problems? Someone is trying to get my password... I don't know why. It's a free forum...

It may be fake. I have received two or three similar mails for my long term not used Steam account.

Because lots of people only use a limited set of passwords. I guess people are getting more informed about phishing attempts on bank so now the time has come to move to more "innocuous" targets which still may use the same passwords.

Thats right I forgot,with most people you get 1 password for any sight you most likely have the password for all their sites.
