| My account was hacked today somebody has hacked my boatdesign account and chaned my password. I am really afraid of loosing my account. I regained the password by "forgot my password " option, and a new password was given to me. Can any one of you suggest me how can i resist this kind of hacking?

| Why would someone do that? I mean what is the benefit. You probably did forget the password. |

| Ahhhhh, the famous Mr Al-Amin Pavel, the multi billionaire? user of the free tokelau domain... - who would be bothered, refrain from over-dramatising a free subscription website, and ensure your own system is secure - do not use microsoft...

| Frosty, when I told you how easy that could be done to anyones password, I never expected you would use it. Montiring is OK changing is not. If others do it I'll tell the moniter how to prevent it. Stan |

| Please make sure your passwords are not too easy. The 5-try timeout should help prevent brute forcing, but passwords should be reasonably secure in length, alphanumeric, etc. Also please make sure there are no keyloggers on your local machine(s). |
