Someone attempting to get into my account...

I just logged on and I get the message: "There have been several unsuccessful attempts trying to log into your account..."
It sure as hell wasn't me.

Is there some way to see when the last time I was logged in was?

Damn you and your blatant regard for logic.
I've been thinking about it, but moreso I'm wondering if that error message means that the person has actually gotten in or not. It would make sense if it came up after the password came up correctly the first time, so I'm hoping it's that. I'm just stoned and paranoid about someone getting into the sensitive information in my account.

Once you successfully log into your account, the bad login count is reset. So I think it's safe to assume nobody gained access. The whole point of the security code is to discourage automated brute force attempts, and manual attempts are impractical. Just make sure you have a strong password that can't be easily guessed and you should be okay.
