We haven't really talked much about it but we had an account hacked last week. No damage except Jena lost all her posts (I'll get em back for you Jena)
That is why we asked for people to change their passwords and to pick passwords that are not easily guessed.
These forums are not hobby forums but run by a company (White Oak Travel Services, Inc.) and we take attempts such as this very seriously.
The reason I mention that is because any attempt to disrupt a companies business using a computer is a federal crime. It takes a considerable amount of time and expense to deal with issues such as this.
If anyone wants to read about the definition of hacking and its penalties you can start here:
