It might be a silly question but have you been to amazon.com and checked the status of your account? If it's active the email was phishing. It's very possible someone that doesnt visit DPreview often thought that your usename was theirs. I know I've gone to plenty of sites that I have an account at and typed in cybermike and tried every pass I know of before giving up. Then after checking old emails or having my account/pass sent to my registered email I learn that cybermike wasn't even my account name on that site.
The thing is the sites are only connected through your email address. They don't have the same account name and the only way anyone would know you own both of them would be to get into your email and view emails where you signed up. The thing is, if they had your email adress why did get the password wrong 5 times in dpreview? dpreview most likely sent your pass to you in an email, and even if you deleted it, they could have just hit recover pass and had it emailed. While I can't prove they are both nothing to worry about, I just don't think they are connected.
