Dugs is calling it a "hack", which would imply that the system was compromised somehow to give someone access to his (relatively) meager account. In reality, this is a "leak", similar to those laptop thefts where passwords and credit card information are pulled from a stolen computer. If he is using the same password for all his accounts (blogger, poker sites, porn, whatever), it's likely that an admin or desk drone at one of those sites swiped the password. I continue to play at FTP, and will continue to do so. Props to calling the Dugglebogey Episode what it is: a password security issue.
