OR... and I hate to even think this, someone at one of the sites, is stealing passwords and using them on other sites, or selling them.

I used to manage a bulletin board and when I worked for another site, I noticed that many people used the same password for everything, because it was easy to remember. Also easy to hijack!

It's also possible that someone hacked into one MicroStock site, got their database and user files, and then went to other sites.

Just some WAGuesses.

Personally I have a stenographers notebook, which is a real problem when I'm on the road without it, I don't lug it around, and I write down the password for each individual site. I don't have anything worth stealing, but just to try to prevent the potential hassles, I don't use the same password for anything financial. Forums are a little less secure, I use a number of different ones, but some are duplicated when I'm lazy. Not much interest from impersonators, when there's no financial gain involved.

I'd hate for someone to get into my PayPal account, because I used the same password at Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure forum one time in 2005. :-D

Looks like hacking into Micro accounts is getting to be a problem. Didn't someone else have the same problem a few weeks ago?

Hopefully the person who did this, gave their own email and account information, so they can hang him by his... ah... own evidence. :twisted:
