Possible security failure? (hacked profile)

[Urban Ranger]

More often then not, a user accesses his ACS account on a public computer, then forgets to logoff before leaving. This is how most of these account 'hackings' occur.

The advice is, clean up after yourself.

A couple of times other Kiwis have claimed that they have been default logged in as me when going onto Poly - Sn00py and Frozzy to date. And neither of them were in cities where I had ever used a ccomputer, let alone the Net.

We live in strange times...?

Who remembers Wiglaf's "hacking" ?

They weren't quoting me. I have always supported the company line that you can not post private communications on Apolyton unless both parties agree.
That has been a rule that MarkG has been pretty consistent on. Don't publish PM's unless the other person agrees... pretty clear to me

Oh.

That actually makes my life a little easier.

That's odd.

The computer uses cookies to "remember" identities, so that seems to be quite implausible to happen.
