Back On Top Of Things

Ok, first off, thank you to the Gmail staff for helping me out. They were really quick in getting him booted and changing my password.

Considering how accessible of a person I am, Im not really sure how all this was triggered. I will definitely be monitoring my password more often, and if you were affected by this, Im really sorry.

Gmail said they couldnt go through and delete the emails that were sent, but they could tell me where his IP address was located. According to their systems, he was logged in from southern Illinois. If anyone has any idea who this is, please let me know.

I was able to recall most of the original messages before he changed my password, but I couldnt get them all. I know the one to Chris Harris, Jerry, and Kevin were not able to be recovered, and I apologize.

Kevin, the one that was sent to you was especially awful, I hope you are over 18.

Everyone else, let me know if something else happened.

    Yeah, I got some email like you had taken the email I sent you last week and were sending it to someone else. I was about to come on here and leave some awful message when I saw what was going on.

    Then when the pic on the email loaded, I had a feeling something was going on.

    You were really nice when you answered my question, so I was shocked when I got the email. Its okay now though.

    My theory, since the hacker used the term "gay", is going back to the guy that you made the trade two weeks ago, where he sent you the wrong cards at first.

    I didn't get an email. So what's up? What's it take to get in your 5?

    Just trying to take some tension out of the air.

    That trader would be my guess.

    Being from northern Illinois, I couldn't tell you what goes on downstate. From my experiences down there, whatever's going on involves a lot of free time, religion and guns.

    I wonder if someone figured out your security question. That's how Sarah Palin's e-mail was hacked.

    I don't know what your security question is, but if it's something that could be figured out without too much work, that's a simple hack.

    Wow...that's just scary. It has me paranoid now. I talk about all you bastards behind your backs and I don't want someone forwarding it out...

    That was a joke...you can laugh now...

    Hey, if you can and you still have it, I'd like to see the email that "evil temporary not really Gellman" Gellman sent.

    It's ok if it's profane. I like cuss words...

    Seriously, Dude, I'm really glad to hear they got that cleared up. That has got to be pretty unnerving.

    ok, I think I have it figured out, and I think I know how he got in. I dont know who did it, but I think I took enough steps to make sure it doesnt happen again.

    I didnt think hacking my email account was possible, but if it happens to sarah palin, it can happen to me.
