Seriously, did you really post this? uh yeah, if an idiot takes a selfie ripping someone off and post it publicly, HELL YEAH they should be busted... Yep, reusing the same PW's on an exchange is about on the same level of stupidity.

Someone with your expertise knows better, admit it.

I'm not sure if I even used the same password. I had different levels of passwords. My ripple password was "high trust" meaning I wouldn't have used it an any other sites unless I fully trusted them. I trust btce so it's possible I used the ripple password there in the past but it was changed a few times since. Other accounts at other sites with different passwords have not been withdrawn. And my "low hanging fruit" / honey pot type accounts weren't accessed.

I had strange event happen months back while developing a java application. I think an exploit or payload launched in my debugging environment. I probably still have the stack trace. After reading the stack trace I assumed the exploit had failed. It threw a buffer overflow exception. I assumed this was the debugger stopping the attack by throwing an exception before data could be written. I looked for evidence of intrusion but a buddy of mine who's into that sort of thing said now days you wouldn't find anything suspect. I did find that my init file was modified on a certain day but my package manager log showed no installs or updates for that day. I replaced the hard drive and assume I was infected with a root kit.
