Further to that hacking ...

I joined marmalade_fish  to check out updates on the hacking of sarahtales , and two important points were raised.

The first is that if you have sarahtales  friended, the hackers currently have access to all of your private posts. So it may be a good idea to defriend for a little while.  ETA, she's back, but you should still consider the fishies, it looks like a fun comm, too!

The second is that there is a suspicion the hacker is not an opportunistic Russian con artist, but someone from fandom acting malevolently. Given some of fandom's history, that does not seem as unlikely as we might hope. Why some people feel it's necessary to pour crap on those who add hard work to their talent in order to become successful is a mystery to me. Wankers, the lot of them.

My first thought when I saw the hacked post was that it had a distinctly different tone than the other hacked posts. It was more specific in the details the person clearly knows about SRB and her book release. :(

I don't even know what to say. It makes me furious and sad. Not that we don't know there are crazy, malicious people in fandom, it's just such a shame when they manage to pull crap like this off.

Though, as my J is fond of saying, if crap people were not crap, they'd be barristers and bishops.
