Post by Sunbaneglasses »

I went to log into my Yahoo mail account and my password was rejected.I ended up having to create a new one,I am 100% sure that it was not a mistake on my part.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Cough...Turkish Hackers...Cough.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Any password used HERE was subject to compromise by the Hackers.

After being hacked, I changed all my other passwords.

It is a good practice to keep your primary email passwords different than your bulletin board passwords. [I didn't until them, my bad!]

My advice is to have separate passwords for separate levels of security. Almost everywhere you go on the 'net these days wants a username and password. I don't trust password manager software, and writing all that stuff down... No, have one password template for your banking and credit card info (top secret), another for your email (secret), another for sites (like KW) that you use every day (confidential), and if you have to, one for sites that you use infrequently (sensitive) (better off using www.bugmenot.com if you can). Change each level at the first signs on anything hinky.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
