Did anyone else get an unsolicited "Lost Password" email from Livejournal, and/or other web services last night?

Nope. I usually forward those to the relevant abuse teams if it's for a service I actually use, and then report is as a phishing message to gmail.

They would appear to be genuine, not phishing messages. My working theory is that someone clicked on the "lost password" options on these sites, trying to see if they could guess my security questions and access my accounts. fortunately that doesn't seem to be the way these sites work.

I should check all my other online accounts. *Sigh*
