Further to that hacking ...

[blamebrampton]

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.

Formerly known as mistful.

And I am thoroughly intrigued by her theory that it could be a spiteful person targeting her.

mistful? hmm...could be a spiteful person. but that's a lot of work if it is. *sigh* some people really need to get off the internets and go outside.

Yes, I would have thought it far too much effort, but after reading through some of the Great Banana Attacks of Fandom lately, I am inclined to think she may be onto something.

And your solution to the problem is EXACTLY the right one!
