    Sorry for this negative thread, but 4 accounts were edited. Coincidence that all of them had the password cheese...

    I have changed them since, but NEVER EVER SET YOUR PASSWORD TO CHEESE.

    flash.vg
    d5hosting.com
    bosswebhosting.com

    One other.

    i have fixed the first and third one, but the second one will be left as an example.

    They edited the configuration files for both so nothin worked. :p

    But i am fixing that now on flash.vg. once done, who cares?

    Yeah, next time you'll want to set it to c3hEeS9e. I think you'll find that's a more secure password!

    Are you seriously saying you used the word, 'cheese', as a password? Not only that but used it on multiple sites? :eek:

    I wonder how they managed to crack that password? Maybe they read this list?
