I agree. I deleted over 30,000 emails and nothing happened to me. Hillary Clinton

Ken,

I didn't say they got the password from the classracer website. I may have insinuated that and I apologize. It was just that they had the password I use here so I was giving you a heads up. I did some more checking since I have a couple hundred sites that I have logins on and there are a couple others where I use the same password. I also warned them.

However as we discussed offline yesterday saying there is no way they could have got it here is false. Just this morning the US DOJ indicted Russians for stealing UID's and passwords, it can be done if you know what you're doing and the people doing this stuff are paid professionals that do it for a living all day every day. How many news stories have been published in just the past year of huge multinational companies being hacked and getting users passwords?

The reason I posted here was to give people I care about a heads up to be on the lookout for "suspicious activity", email, etc. and to report it to the FBI if they got a bitcoin account number in the correspondence which lights them up because they have something specific to look at and go after and they will. Of course they don't check every report they get, we as tax payers couldn't afford for them to do so but an active account number is not just spam or phishing, it's something real that can be traced.

I'll dig out the IP's and send them to you although they are most likely bogus since spoofing the origination IP is not that difficult and these people are obviously sophisticated enough to know that.. unless of course they're trying to make it look like Russians hacked hillies servers ;-)
