OSO Friends,

Sound tried accessing my account again last night. So, if I post anything that is not witty, brilliant or substantially funny, you know someone got into my screenname.

Seriously, anyone else getting these attempts lately?

Jon

Both of those IP addresses are in Europe (1 in Germany), but it doesn't mean they originated there....

What could they possibly hope to learn or gain by hacking into an account here?

I think that they are just tired of lame humor, bad advice, and avatars that don't have beautiful women in them! Just kidding, but the world is such a potentially sick place that this is almost the norm and actually fairly innocent compared to the real evil that exists. Going for a second scotch now.
