Aussie, I have just seen a copy of the thread. I would prefer it remained deleted. Even if you don't take it seriously, having threats like that floating around puts off other members and lurkers.

I took it seriously FD, so much so that I wanted it preserved, not deleted without reference to me, the Moderator of the Forum.

I wanted that Thread preserved to support mantra's report to Police.

Angry

Thank you for being so considerate Aussie - it is appreciated. The D's had a couple of days to trace the IP number and copy the contents of that particular post. They told me to commend you for your diligence and astuteness in locking and isolating the thread so quickly. It saved them a lot of hard work in sorting through miscellaneous IP's that would have resulted from predictable responses to that particular post. You did your job well.

Reply #80 - Apr 20^th, 2009 at 8:31pm Aussie if the police need it, I can put it back up for them. I doubt they are going to bother unless easel does something stupid. It is not necessary for anything to be kept public for the benefit of the police.

They are being hacked into and I'm not going to mention any names but haven't you got some security when it comes to people accessing other member's PM's?

Mantra,

The chances of people accessing your PMs is more likely by someone you know well or has received considerable knowledge of you and tried some passwords to access your account (social engineering). It is the most common form of "cracking" (not hacking).

If there is a person or people you likely suspect did it, it probably was one of them. I would recommend changing the password to your email that you have registered to this forum with and your password for you account here.

Regards,

Senexx

As for the rest of this thread, I have just read it in full and it is quite enlightening.

I have changed my password now Senexx, but the password I used previously was issued from this site and was comprised of numbers and a couple of letters - which I have never used before on any forum. I find it hard to understand how anyone could "crack" the password as I couldn't even remember it and had to often look it up if I needed it to change something in my profile.

Reply #89 - Dec 20^th, 2009 at 10:58am A few people know my email account, but when my account logs in automatically on my computer - surely this automatic log in wouldn't work on someone else's computer?
