    Yes, I've had to shut down the M/A email and move all my accounts.

    There will be more information about that in the next few days.

    I changed my mind. Dave O. did it. This is the only website that has steadfastly refused to ban him; it's resulted in so much indignation that he's gone to extremes.

    This all makes my head spin and my brain ache. If I were a hacker, what could I possibly do with Dave.O's personal information? :crazy:

    Well you could try and access his banking. Many people often use the same or slight variation of a password for all their accounts.

    Best practice I find is to have unique passwords for each site you visit that requires a log in. That password should at a minimum be 12 characters with a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

    I know it is a pain in the ass to do this, but it is more of a pain to have your banking info hacked because you used a similar PW for everything.

    I have 100's of passwords. To keep track I use Password Safe kept on an encrypted drive that requires a YubiKey to access.

    More than a moderator. He's the lead "admin".

    That is in quotes as IB has the admin's wings clipped to the point they can't fly.
