A user has been locked out of the WordPress site …

  • We used to have WordPress host our website but we no longer do. We now use Wix. However, we have recently been getting emails stating that:

    A user, exec, has been locked out of the WordPress site [our website URL is inserted here] due to too many bad login attempts.
    The user has been locked out until 2017-12-10 12:33:02.
    To release the lockout please visit the lockouts page.

    The email appears to come from someone within our organization (the URL of the email is the same as our web domain).

    Has someone hacked our former wordpress site or is this a phishing scam?
