You should stop calling out scammers with their scam projects Cheesy and why do you still have the sig on?

Removing the sig in a couple minutes. Left it there along with the added comment for sound reasoning from a sound mind, or something like that.

It seems to me that someone guessed Gleb's password using the password hashes stolen in 2015, since Gleb didn't change his password since then. The Glebonator account may be due to the attacker trying a new password-cracking attack against accounts in alphabetical order, or due to specifically targeting Gleb and incorrectly believing that that account belonged to him, or because Glebonator is the attacker.

I still don't see the ones that were sent to me in my In Box, but that may not be important I guess.

I restored those as well now.

I'm leaning heavily toward the Glebonator user account having something to do with this.

I was mistaken. The Gleb account password wasn't changed since its inception. I think I looked at my computer logs incorrectly via clicking a different user account that has the strong password. I guess I have to change the PWs on all my 87 accounts (running gag; really somewhere north of a dozen account, almost all declared, of which one of the non-declared immediately comes to mind, created to fuck with some nefarious actor a year or two ago - not the user account nibbknot).

It's about time you got rid of that stupid sig.

Gleb's da man!  Grin
