You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

Secure your eMail Account:

As for your eMail account, secure it too by activating and using a Two-Factor Authentication service of the eMail provider. Contact them for assistance with recovering and then securing your eMail account.
