ComBom, FaceBook and Hackers: Sounds familiar …

Do you remember, a few months back, I told you about the attempt — by someone appearing to be a Republican think-tank — to log-in to my Google mail account … ?

Looks like I’m not the only person to have something similar happen.

Bless him, it looks like ComBom — of Life, Dr Who & ComBom fame — had a bit of a temporary problem, trying to log into his FB account.

Someone — unknown — tried logging into his Facebook account, earlier today, I’m thinking …

Well …

Lot’s of things.

Including wondering if he’s had a visit from that same think-tank.

Or someone with the same name as him has tried logging into it.

Or whether something more sinister’s afoot.

Especially since many public user Facebook detail’s have been posted to many sites.

Including Pirate Bay, I should add … !

But given that — according to the email I got from Yahoo, earlier today — Kevin D’s email address is a forgery that’s mass sending spam, I really want to know what’s happening … !

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
