account comprimised?

I'm really not at all sure why ANYONE would want to do this, but apparently someone just tried to hijack my livejournal. I received a 'lost password' e-mail today, which on it's own I wouldn't find TOO suspicious since it happened once before(although it did make me wonder then too). But then all of a sudden I was booted out of my primary e-mail address and told that the password was changed on that account (the account which the 'lost password' email was sent to). I have NO clue who would do this or for what reasons. I have never given out these passwords to anyone so I do not know how someone could have even guessed them or for what means.

I am posting this primarily just in case this someone does manage to gain control over my accounts again and starts posting suspicious entries or you receive odd e-mails from me... I'm really worried about this and can't fathom why anyone would try to in any way steal my identity. I haven't even used this account to really post anything private as I decided to just use the journal to share art...

Kinda worried now..

Wow, that's messed up. *hugs!!* Please try not to worry about it though. It's just not worth stressing over.

well the thing is that e-mail is my primary business e-mail..and printed on all my business cards etc..so it'd upset me more to lose the email than LJ. And having someone log into your accounts makes you wonder what other accounts they are getting into..and why or how. x___x

Thanks for the comment hon (which reminds me, did you ever get my e-mail, I sent you my mobile #)

Oh I see what you mean. x_x You're right, that would be a pain to have to change on everything.

Yeah I got your email, I replied to it a while ago in fact. :D Did you receive that one? I wrote a bit of a letter talking about what's been up with me lately so I'd be sad if it didn't go through. XD; I can re-send though?
