Warning: Someone is using info from DU to sign people up to

[sinkingfeeling]

the House GOP Conference newsletters. I just unscribed and my email was there with my DU user id as my name.

1. wow. silly games. nt

2. How did they get your email?

[Scuba]

3. How would they get your email?

[sinkingfeeling]

5. I don't know how my email address was obtained. However, I only use

'sinkingfeeling' on this site.

4. Are you saying the GOP or their minions have hacked Skinner's database?

How else would they get this information?

Do you use that username anywhere else?

We aren't publicly ID'd by our email addresses here, so they would have had to hack into DU's servers.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. See above.

[MADem]

13. Sure they didn't hack YOUR email, and find correspondence between you and DU that referenced your

username?

Have you bought a star lately? Could this be a PAYPAL problem?

In order for DU to know who to hand the star to, they need a user name, after all....?

Just trying to cover all the bases, here...

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I haven't bought a star on communicated with DU through that email

account since the last regular fund drive on DU2. Don't believe there's any saved record of that Paypal transaction on my email account.

7. Thanks I would suggest posting this in H&M

and sending an email to Skinner.

9. I had my email hacked a month ago and still haven't

been able to resolve it.

10. Maybe you should crosspost this in H&M

Ask the admin if there's anyway they know of that this could have happened?

[DocMac]

11. Get em Skinner!!

[DURHAM D]

12. Are the newsletters online ?

Can we sign up to receive it by regular mail? If so, we should all sign up and waste their money.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Online

[WilliamPitt]

16. Post this in Help & Meta

so the Admins see it.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. I did.

A more unique user name may help and won't freak you out as much. Maybe something like---

20. Is a family member playing a joke on you?

My sons did that to me. Signed me up for RW wacko stuff online.

[sinkingfeeling]

21. I don't think anybody knows my DU name. But yes, I have

family who would stoop to signing me up. I'll check with him tonight.

[DevonRex]

22. I hope that is what happened.

Just think of all the fun you can have in retaliation! I put my boys' baby pictures on Facebook. Just a couple, mind you.

I still have hundreds I can use later if need be.
