I wake up today at this annoyingly early hour and find this little email in my inbox...........

"Dear k4p84,

If anybody else gets this drop a line in here, good job you had a secure password dude.

Having to create and remember so many strong passwords for work has it's advantages.

I may well change my password regardless.

Its quite strange why anyone would want to hack someone elses forum account. Its not like any confidential information is stored in there..unless of course they wanted to pretend to be you for the purposes of scamming or even spamming the forum.
