View Full Version : Open apology to Scout - hack situation

First of all, when WB posted this:

Don't apologize Scout...

She started out sortof 'normal' Lindsey outspoken and opinionated, but I think she's gone off the rails now. I don't know whether to suspend her or declare her account hijacked.

She was right.

I posted the first two (or three?) posts in my usual, straight forward way. "Forum time" my last post was about 5:12pm. Which would be around 8-ish here I think. It's 5:28am right now.

I was extremely sick to my stomach and went to bed early.

I woke up about an hour ago. I always first check my email.. which, aside from having in and outcoming emails form odd "tinyurl" sites.. had a "bill failed" email from RODS.com (western wear).. which would make sense.. because I have a "fun/random" bank account that I had the debit card cancelled on for the sole reason "I don't use it"...

I checked my computer history and BWF, along with my email etc, doesn't register at all after I went to bed.

Either way.. I still, even though I edited the "other posts" already, feel horrible for scout.

So here it goes..

Dear Scout:

I can be too straight forward.. but I would NEVER... EVER use the words that were posted this past evening.. EVER.

Everyone on here knows I would NEVER, even in my darkest hour, call someone the things my account called you. And I am truly sorry.

And, for the record, Bobby (fiance) works at Conway Freight in Orlando, FL and oversees forklift operations. He has not worked at the "feed store" in a long time.

Which leaves me investigating this further.

Again, I apologize.

Well I knew it couldn't be you, not on your worst day after a bad batch of mushrooms.
WB is always right! I don't think Scout appeared upset just bewildered like the rest of us. Glad to know you're OK.

I still can't tell what happened, but I'm happy if there's no more strange outbursts coming from you or your little friend. :)

In the night I wondered if my loud neighbor had hacked your account. ;)

Thank you, BadLands! Appology accepted! :) It wasn't your fault and it is a shame it happened... I guess it is one of the major downfalls of living in the 21st century! I was upset a little because I had never been called those things before... but mostly I was like WTH!???? Again, I am sorry you got hacked and I hope everything else is ok!!

Creepy! I wonder if you'll ever know who did it. Because most hacks just send out a virus/spam other people, the way your posts were written, it seems like there was an actual person behind it.
...Got any ememies? :P

(Oh, and welcome to the forum, Scout! I don't think I've said that to you yet :) )
