Default Someone trying to hack my Salty Account
Got an email at 4:30 this morning saying that my saltycajun account had been compromised because of 5 failed logins. Anyone else experience this?

I had heard a warning on the news about this not long ago. People try to get your password on a site like this and if they get it, they then hope it's the same password for other sites also like banks and other places. BBB was warning people to make certain you use different passwords and usernames for each site. Maybe this is what is happening here also.

Listen folks... Use a password safe...

Something like Keepass.

http://keepass.info/

Basically this is a tool that generates completly random passwords based on how you want it to... then it stores the password for you... you access the database for it with one master password that you remember which is both long and complex...

also this way when you enter one of your passwords its a cut and paste action... that way keyloggers cant get you either...

I'm still trying to figure out how to spend my SC Cash!

I thought I remembered reading that SC cash could be used in raffles but I haven't seen one since I bankrupted W last year when The Louisiana Ragin' Cajun baseball team finished the regular season ranked #1 in the nation.
