My account was briefly locked twice last night. But I've been getting this occasionally for a couple of years now.
I can understand cyber crime for the purpose of stealing money, but to attack believers in the existence of bigfoot? How can this not be seen as mental illness?
If true, that is pathetic. And, if true, I would suggest that the friend's friends tell their friends or whoever, that the authorities are very serious about cyber crime these days. They are being proactive against petty cyber criminals because they are easier to catch and because they want to set an example to those who might think that they can get away with even worse...
Yes, I received the same New Mexico email as well.
Some people really need to get a better hobby than trying to hack a stranger's i.d. on a flipping message board.
well, I called the police and told them that someone from the ISF was trying to hack my BFF account. in talking over the phone with the officer, he first asked "what is ISF" ? i told him it's the International Skeptics Forum and I explained what it's about. I could hear some restrained chuckles on the end of the line. Then he asked me "what is the BFF"? and I told him about the BIgfoot Forums and the guffaw's and yuk yuk yuks started to roll.
The officer then told me that he saw absolutely no reason to follow up on, what he described as the "Cyber attack of the century" and told me to grow up. "Bigfoot, HUH?!?!?! He laughed
I'm sure that same cop would be happy to investigate someone doing a california roll through a stop sign. **** the non believers!!!!!
