We are working with the law.

Yes, just read it. Took a fortnight to tell us. I love the film Sneakers with Robert Redford and Sidney Poitier. It's all about security, hacking and encryption. "Too Many Secrets" is one of the themes of the film. I think "Too Many (bloody) Passwords" is mine. JJ  |

We didn't get told about this by Ebay, changed our password because it was in the newspaper - wonder if it's really true?

I have got one of those but the code is so good that if I do forget a password I have trouble working out what I wrote. My bank login is the worst. I figure if anybody is hacking my computer (  ), that by the bank asking for different characters of my memorable info on a regular basis, any watcher should have the whole thing by now! Passwords are bad enough but with memorable info, I have to resort to counting my fingers to work out which character the bank is asking for! So sad. JJ  |

ebay contacted me a couple of weeks ago as there was a listing put on my account (a 10k jcb) that was out of character/differant from my nowmal ebay qse, == yep my details had been ,hacked, they asked me not to tell anyone at the time whilst they investigated and tried to catch the offender.
they advised that i changed all passwords etc , especially those that protect financial or sensative data .

Mike are you sure you wasn't looking for a new project,
JCB sounds about right for you.
