    They are sneaky B******s who can even get your email address if you,re not aware of it.


    Ask daren1.

    Hackers can use proxy's that show their IP address in one place when they are really in another. The security team is working in this issue and have implemented one safety feature to stop this hacker. There are more features to come.  The fact that no personal information is asked other than an e-mail address when one joins akaQA means the members real life identity and safety is not at risk. The worse damage a hacker can do here is to post stuff through your account and give TD's and TU's.

    Most likely kids that think they can hack safely. Members generally call from the same web address so look for a mis-match to block or catch.

    robert, you understand that someone broke into Daren's account and used it like they were Daren, right? This is not the work of kids. Yes, we know how to tell where the person is when they log into the account. Again, they can use a proxy server to show a different location however.

    Linux opens the world to viewing all mischievous activity on-line and tagging perps for compututer seizure by law enforcement globally. Nothing is so sneaky that its not locatable.

    The security team is taking care of this. Python's suggestion for people to change their account password is a good one. Let's leave it at that. Even the CIA has trouble tracking some criminals. Unless you're a skilled hacker, I think you can't even begin to imagine the possibilities.

    They got me and I think I'm a nothing......................
