I do believe you, but I had another, yet comparable problem. Actually I reported the authorities today a serious internet abuse by the online agency True Loves http://www.trueloves.com The Java scripts on this site are meant to retrieve information about their visitors for the purpose of spam mail, to retrieve their visitors' Credit Card information and their E mail address for which people often use the same password as they use to sign up for that site. Being unaware about this, I yesterday signed up twice at that site and noticed that the Java scripts on that site indeed retrieved browser info and maybe also CCard data. On that site I signed up with the same password as for my Hotmail account, my E mail was also hacked last night and this morning I immediately blocked my Credit Card account and wrote an e mail to the I.P. of that site's domain. The same webmaster also runs the (fake) site : www.antiscam.com He (or she) has a Yahoo ID : nadzaitz@yahoo.com 2 hours ago I received a threatening E mail message from that address saying that they know all about me and that I must leave their I.P. alone because they have "muscular friends" all over the world and that they will sue me. That site is a scam and a dangerous one. My first reaction was to scream "bomb and nuke that skunk!" but maybe it's better to proceed with caution. NEVER use the same password twice.
