    I'm not sure, I guess they can change sig links or rip people off using the login.

    Bet it is someone you have done business with and has some info on you such as msn & yahoo ids, email address etc. One lesson here is don't get stuck in a rut on ids and passwords.

    With a respected account with just under 5K posts they could make some decent money in the BST forum pretty quick.

    Maybe he/she's an honest hacker and just wanted the account to legitamately sell their site and/or services in a hurry instead of waiting till they could post in the BST forum because their sister/brother/mother/father/etc. is sick and they need to money right away;)

    I think these people knows how DP is valuable and so they tried to hack an account of a well established member.

    Hmm, it's strange, I don't recall doing any business with anyone in that part of the world. I guess I'm safe if they didn't manage to figure it out in 5 attempts!

    Actually, that's unlikely to be accurate - it may be where the data center is but is probably not where the person lives.
