filkRecently I got one of those extortion messages that claims to have recorded me on video watching pornography. These are nonsense but are accompanied by a password to give alleged "proof." They seem to think I've been reading porn on Filkhaven IRC, since that's where the password they sent came from. (At first I thought it was LiveJournal and mentioned that to several people at OVFF, but checking when I went home revealed I was mistaken. It wasn't LiveJournal.)
I take good care of my passwords, so if the password for my handle was breached, it's likely others were. This could be a problem for anyone on FilkHaven. I haven't been on there in ages, so if you see anything that claims to be from me, be suspicious of it. You may want to change your password.
