Glad my id starts with "s". Maybe they will find a solution to this before they get that far in the alphabet. This is a real mystery on our hands here. Of course the perpetrator will see this post and come right after me now :<

I hear ThePlanet is the attraction of spammers/bots/hackers (ages ago), so I blocked it for all my sites....
Guys, I want to let you know what has just happened to me. A half hour ago I received an e-mail from DP that someone had tried to log in to my account and had entered invalid password 5 times and that for that reason I won't be able to log in to my account for 15 minutes. The e-mail also included the IP from which the person has tried to log in. I've checked the IP, but this is useless, as (s)he might have used a proxy, etc. So I've changed my password immediately and I advise you guys to change your DP passwords to really unique ones. Rather do not use your DP password anywhere else, only for DP. And don't create passwords like e.g. your birth date, etc. The best is a combination of some characters and numbers, but that everyone knows. I have an auction running in the link sales currently, so maybe someone wanted to close it and grab my money. Take care guys.
