I tried to log into ADT today and instead of the normal way of logging in a unfamiliar box was asking for verification my username and password was in it's place.I of course never filled it in for fear that it would have hacked my account and password.
Although it's now back to normal regarding logging in did anyone have the same log in problems earlier,i was going to go onto ADT on twitter if the same log scenario was still there tonight to ask about it.I do not have my old email account from joining up so maybe i did receive a message about a change.

It was me breaking things. We're changing our internet service at the home office and no longer will have a dedicated IP address. So I was setting up a new VPN service and accidentally applied new security credentials to all of the folders where the website data resides. The new credentials prevented the anonymous web user account from accessing the site. I'm not on the anonymous user account so I didn't realize there was a problem until Steph started getting emails.

I had the exact same experience as stinkfist, and also didn't enter any credentials (not knowing if it was tinkering with the site or malware).
Glad to know it was just Drew playing with himself, er, his toys
