    Our tech support has eliminated every trace of this intrusion in every ‘history log’ he could find…

    However, for your protection:

    We request you to change your ESR message board password immediately !!!
    We also recommend and request you to change your email password as well !!!

    Our tech support is sending a registered user mass email repeating these requests as I’m writing this…


    What can we say… We are deeply sorry for this intrusion and inconvenience, and hopefully these interventions will put this behind us.

    12345 was a bad password Chuck.

    Yeah, don’t use “password” for your password.... I.e., don’t follow higher-up political types...

    Quick story - my mom, who could “solve 5 of those wood/metal/rope puzzles at the renaissance fair in less than 3 minutes, couldn’t ever remember her ATM PIN - they gave her “12345”

    I leave you another story. No matter how long and encrypted the key is ... If there is a keylogger or a human error (which always exists) this kind of thing will happen. The only thing that can be clear about this is, an improvement in security at the personal level and at the forum level.
    Keep going!
