hello,

I thought it was worth mentioning : I recently received one of these spam / email scam relating directly to my MA password. Fortunately i use this passeword only for MA so I know it was my account here that was supposedly cracked. the threat in itself is nothing to worry about and it's true that this passeord wasn't very sophisticated but nevertheless something managed to breach in, thought it was worth mentioning.

the name of the email is my passeword and they used that to insinuate they know more about my elife and ask money for silence... quite ridiculous but others should beware...

HellBlazer was made aware of this recently, by the way.
