Hi,

It’s a new security measure… and it doesn’t seem to well tuned yet as it sends
spurious messages.  But better too many than not enough I guess )

I get so many that I completely ignore them, so I've heard from other sellers.

Same here. I've already set up a filter to automatically delete them.

Oddly enough, I just got a message that my store was closed because I haven't
logged in in 3 days, but I was just in yesterday to post feedback and issue coupons.
*shrug*

Personally I'm fine with these measures if it helps cut down on spam and
increase security.
