> Well, that explains some of the extortionate e-mails I’ve gotten from hackers bragging about owning a password I haven’t used in years… Also amusing when they claim to have video of me jacking off to porn sites when 1) I haven’t visited porn on the internet in, oh, probably 15 years or more and 2) my computer doesn’t have a camera attached to it.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen any of those emails; now I have three in my spam folder since Friday. All of them mention the same password, one so ridiculously long (40 characters!) that I cannot believe anyone would actually use it.
