Coincidentally I just received an email request to reset my password on Namecheap (not issued by me), anyone else? On top of that, my account has been locked for 24 hours for three consecutive failed password or username entry attempts.

Perhaps someone just got confused with the amount of j's in their username?
You should watch your domains and look out for any friends who suddenly have a new car or a new nice watch :-).

My strategy for things is to use a unique username and email address (and password..) for critical services, that way any hacks/leaks of other sites don't reveal my entire web presence. It may be that your email was found in another dump, or from a domain whois lookup.
