Salsa_Shark is a screen name I started using in December of 2004, it comes from the 1994 movie Clerks. I'm known elsewhere on the internet as Devious_Malcontent or DeviousMalcon_t depending on character limits.
The other day I when to uni to set up my uni email address, being lazy I used the same password I use for my personal email address, next day my personal email address was compromised. :\
I've contacted my faculty, since my campus doesn't have a very good computer usage policy, it's possible that there was key loggers installed and the incident is under investigation.
I've gotten both my accounts back under my control in the end, so I guess this is just another lesson in computer security.
Fortunately the development of my game has not been affected, nor has my computer.
Also expect a blog update soon. :D
I think my emails got compromised once. But I think it was due to a 3rd party extension in Chrome that keeps track of my inbox.
Luckily I believe it was only a turd using my email to create a hack account in WoW, lol good thing I don't play that.
But the fact that the Uni has keyloggers is unacceptable. Tho I might be lazy, my personal email is like my vault online. So I take no chances with it.
I should point out the computers we were using belonged to the public library, because they were trying to deal with overflow, and massive influx of students trying to enrol somebody f'd up with their policy. :S
I know what you mean with the importance of email, mines like the one first place I go to in the morning when I wake up (afternoon I should say :P) so I do take my security very seriously.
P.S I love your use of the word turd; that just made this whole experience enjoyable. :D
glade to know im not the only person that wakes up past 12
I've only woken up before 12 once this year. :D
I wish I didn't have to wake up before 12:( but unfortunately school stars at 9am:(
Ah man, I'll tell you one thing; since I finished school I seriously miss it :( and i never thought I would.
