Was Nearly Hacked

I was checking my Email and in my Spam folder I see this:

A log-in attempt from the following location is currently awaiting your authorization.

This location is approximated based on information provided by your Internet Service Provider. If in doubt, deny the request and try again.

I started freaking out since Ive been unable to get on since I was changing over computers. But after I changed my password and got on I saw that the hacker failed to get in. Im just wondering what else can I do to ease my mind?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:
The log-in from TX may be the forum IP address. The forum IP address shows up sometimes when you use the forums.

If you log into the forum, and the IP address shows up at that moment in Account Security, then it is you using the forum. You can Whois the address to see if it belongs to NCSoft or ArenaNet.

This is true. I’d like that forum access not to show, so that it doesn’t cause concerns and so real would-be hackers from the same area aren’t sneaking onto accounts.
