Default Account Locked

On Saturday the 9th, i attmpted to access the Forums, and was met with a page that indicated my account had been suspended/Locked and that I would be unable to access the Forums.

Perplexed at this, since i had remained within the User guidelines, i went to my hotmail account to see if a Moderator or Administrator had emailed me. In my inbox i had reieved 2 emails indicating that someone had attempted to access my Account several time, without my correct password.

The IP address, as indicated by the email, was;
220.233.73.77

As anyone can plainly see, this not my regular IP address, is there anything that can be done to prevent anyone at this address from attempting to access my account?

Was worried something dodgy was at work.
