Someone attempted to get into my photobucket account last night.
I received an email responding to an apparent request for my username and password. I did not request this myself.

WHOEVER YOU ARE: STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY PHOTOBUCKET ACCOUNT.

Much love,

~Writer~

6. Yeah, you!
;)

Well whatever they possibly could have been looking for is now gone.

I'd second-guess myself - rationally, you know - and consider that I may have done it, but we lost power last night for three hours. Two of my buds had already come over for game night, so we had to use candles to light the table we were playing on. I then watched TV and played wii golf with Mr. Writer before we went to bed. So... no opportunity to have done this myself, if there was any reason why I would have needed to.

Whatever those "jollies" entailed.

8. Yes!
And now it's gutted. :)

I now have a feeling someone was taking a look at it, however, when it was public. Oh well. I'm really glad they enjoyed staring at twenty head shots of me, my cat and dog, and a stained carpet. Yay, them! ;)

5. That sucks!
I had to do a total sign-in this morning.
I wonder if there were a whole bunch of attempted photobucket invasions.

9. The scary thing is that someone actually requested my login information...
It wasn't that they were just snooping around. They couldn't get in to my account, so they attempted to sign-in. I suppose they stupidly tried to use the "forgot your password?" option which was sent to my email.

11. That was stupid!
I don't know what gets into people's minds.
Is there anyone who has access to the computers you use?

13. No. Only Mr. Writer.
And we've been together long enough that he knows my password already. :)
