The two people and dog that follow my YouTube postings were probably confused as to why "I" had posted a video about software to pirate Rapidshare... looks like somebody might have got a hold of my 'minimal security password' and has been having a witty japes and prank time. I have multiple password levels, they've somehow accessed the one I use for my occasional access to miscellaneous sites - but shit out of luck as far as my important access codes. Looks like I'm a member of some BBS that's been rolled for passwords. They then search for my name on other sites and try the password until they get a fit. They got Ebay, they place a bid... not sure what was supposed to happen next as no money in it. Stick up a video on Youtube, I get a mail about it, video goes down. Pointless, really. So yes, you have to use a different password on every site. 1000 of them. Part 2.
