Are you sure it is HtheB though? You could be helping a hacker, accessory to crime, by giving hints.

Still weird though, bruteforce attack on forum logins, really? If they could reroll the IP every 5 attempts it could go on unnoticed, so maybe just trying the top 100000 passwords could give them an account or two, then again on tmo the general percentages probably do not apply (then again using very weak password on forums is not that uncommon). Weird it went on other forums (assuming mobile/linux related?) at the same time, so probably not just random script kiddie
