Lake toba activity? Eruption?

I've read alot about earthquakes there in 2010 and earlier, one which I think was a 5.4. If this happened at yellowstone it would be quite worrying, but seeing ad Lake Toba is on/near a fault line, should this be as worrying? What caused it? Also, there was 450m of uplift due to the 'partial refilling of the magma chamber'. I know that doesn't directly connote an eruption, but does it mean one will happen in the near future? I always assumed it was unlikely seeing as tbhe last super eruption there was only 70000 years ago. Thanks for replies. (already asked but there was only 1 answer)
