Feedback My account, hijacked?

    I thought it was weird when I came to DP and found I wasn't logged in.

    I logged in and my password worked, yet, now I see a thread created in the area AdSense, supposedly by me, saying that I hate everyone there and I think they're faggots. The thread was closed, and I wasn't given an infraction, which I feel was very kind of the moderator closing the thread as it's probable they didn't realize by account was "hijacked".

    Of course, I've changed my password and everything, but I was wondering how this was even possible considering the password I use is completely random and written down only on a Notepad near my PC, nowhere else. The email I use for DP is secured and no logins have been seen there, but that wouldn't effect things anyway.

    Just hoping this isn't someone in power playing a stupid joke. Also, check my signature, whoever was in my account changed that to.

    Just hoping for a Moderator/Admin to verify who logged into my account and done this, and if possible, punish the user. Thanks.

    Couple of points; first ensure you have no malware installed on your PC. It doesn't matter how random your password is if they can see you typing it - 2nd are you sure the account username was an exact match?
