It seems that the bruteforcer didnt knew how things and member levels work in ExeTools (= isnt a member or never been) because bruteforcing my account doesnt make any sense
His real intention might be deeper than you suppose. A successfull login allows you:

1. Knowing user password.
2. Knowing user email address and thus pretty often user country.
3. Reading user private messages.
4. Trying to use ExeTools password (or slighty modified) on user email box - often it will work. Imagine what will happen.

Now you see how dangerous it can be.
