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.

Yeah, I'm not actually convinced that's her. She has never posted a single paragraph in all the time I have known her. I've PMed one of the Marmalade_fish girls who is checking it out, bless her.

The good news is that in terms of keylogging, Macs are pretty damn safe.

And yes, it is looking like a weekend in June will happen, as I currently have the money, now I just need the time. Alas, this weekend is right out, which may be just as well given the word stool ;-)

Yes, brevity, they name is not SRB. :D

Of course, she could just be in shock. That was her Mistful journal, with all those years of comments and memories - man, and her movie reviews/spoofs. Oh, how she has made me laugh.

Awesome! But... what are you saying. You don't want a warm stool? Brammers, you disappoint me. *chuckles*

I think it should be possible to reconstruct all the entries, but the comments may be gone forever ...

And BTW, who is the one person? You can email me with your suspicions *waggles eyebrows*
