password change

Postby spencerforhire » Wed May 19, 2010 2:03 pm

Anyone else have trouble logging in today? Someone tried to hack my password! I have my Firefox remember my logins and passwords so normally it's automatic; but just now I had to have a new one sent to my email. Apparently someone had "exceeded the number of allowable attempts" at my password. NOT COOL. Now I'm all paranoid and have to go check my other board logins.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....

It's a good practice to always use a different password for every website. At the very least, use different passwords for banking/private websites than you use for chat forums.
'72 Vega with '93 Camaro LT1/M29 T56/12 bolt 3.31. 16" IROCs all around. Sanderson headers into duals with an H-pipe and Flowmasters. It's loud but at least it's faster than your grandma's Buick. pwned.
