who's to say that this guy didn't get hacked because he's a frequent visitor of internet cafes. All it takes is one douchebag to surreptitiously browse an internet cafe's browser history to see if previous users accidentally stayed logged in and then add the filter. Once you're in someone's email, they frequently keep old emails with records of passwords. It's a major cluster fuck. Download all your shit into your computer. Encrypt it. Mirror it. And that's it. I use Keepass for all my passwords (and it generates them -- nothing from the top of my head is good enough). It's a sad story but then again 40,000 people die in car accidents every year and you don't hear people bitching about car manufacturers in GFY threads as frequenty as you hear about people who get hacked. Ah, this damn red wine is making me rant.

Merry Christmakwanzahanamas.
