I know a little about internet security and I can say that it's not likely one guy randomly choosing cheezy passwords, there are Bots out there that will run your account through thousands of possible choices in a very short amount of time to see if any work. So please don't be the compete idiot with the password as "Password", no names of your animals, your city, your car... anything that has anything to do with you. DON'T use a password that has any correlation to anything you own, where you live, your high school...nothing that is personally identifiable. THOSE are so EASY and only take a few seconds to figure out,
The Other thing: STOP using the same password for everything you do online. One password for one account. Anything else is just being lazy and you deserve what you get because you're basically begging to be hacked.

Doubt it, does this website not block access to your account after a few incorrect attempts like most websites?

A private message sent to you here? Please send that to me or another staff member. There should be a "report" button somewhere on the private message that you can use. If you can't find that, you can copy/paste the message, but be sure to include the sender's name.
EDIT for PS: If that private message has suddenly disappeared, that means we've already found the hijacked account and deleted all sent messages from that account.

Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.
