Suspicious database query ? Is my forum being attacked ?

Hello,

Over the past 20 days or so, I have received emails with the title Vbulletin database error.

The content of the email is as following

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE datastore SET
data = data - 10,
data = IF(data < 0, 0, data)
WHERE title = 'mailqueue';

No, your forum isn't being attacked. That is a server issue

This is a server issue. You'll need to contact your host about this. Here are the reasons for the MySQL server going away:
