So over the weekend, something pretty terrible happened to me. I was hacked on my DeviantART account. I’m not a stupid internet user, so I thought it would never happen to me. I guess that’s what you get for using your six-letter first password you ever used. The guy wanted $550 via paypal.
Luckily, this morning I got my account back. Or more accurately, he gave it back to me and wrote a very apologetic Facebook note, which is one of the weirdest things that’s ever happened to me on the internet, and I used to frequent LUE on GameFAQs. He said he also knew my Gmail account password, which was my most frequently used password. I spent my morning changing most of my account passwords, and now I am officially no longer using my first password anywhere on the internet. And I am actually pretty sad about this.
Rest in peace…
…hargon.

That’s an amazing story that I’m glad I read. I’m actually contacting you on ‘comments’ because I can’t seem to find an email.
I really love ‘characterpal’, and was getting ambitious enough to tryout ‘appbutton’ – but it seems like the download link is broken. Tried in firefox (latest as of 12/1/2010) and safari (latest as of 12/1/2010) on 10.6.5
