Great fucking start to the weekend

My password is complex. it's the amount of times DMR, Dv and dosawansky have shagged women. And no it isn't 1.

Well, it's definitely over 200 then...
















*i've not kept count*

Forgive my ignorance but as i use PayPal those subject interests me. How do people hack into accounts? Should I make my password stronger or is that pointless?

Sometimes they get lucky and guess a password, but most of the time it's either because there's a virus harvesting key strokes on your PC, or you've been tricked by one of those phishing sites.

Won't who ever the thieving cunt is had to have an address for shipment, or if they chose the pickup option the old bill could be waiting to NICK EM,

Same thing happened to me, the old bill had an addy for shipment - in Cleethorpes - but said as I was being refunded by paypal/my bank it would not be their policy to investigate it!!  One week later my bank account was stripped out and again they did not want to know as I was being refunded.  They soon changed their tune when the chief constable of Wiltshire was contacted by my mp.  People were arrested and charged.

So the police think it's acceptable not to persue the twats as money has been refunded

That was how it worked for me Woolster, 'tis a long story but the person finally arrested was acting as a "mule" - allowing her bank account to be boosted up by outside agencies, she was apparently being paid £50 every time it happened!  She denied everything at first but was presented with the proof.  The police let her and her family "stew" for a few days, her parents persuaded her to co-operate with the police and she made a statement giving a few names and details.  A lot of drugs and money-laundering in the Grimsby area came to a halt with about 12 arrests!!

Or sometimes because people write letters into the Daily Telegraph telling the world enough details so that it can easily be cracked...

Memorable password

SIR – Learning that most passwords are easy to crack (report, December 15) made me realise that the two years of Army National Service I spent in Singapore and Malaya in the 1950s were not wasted.

My eight-digit Army number was burned on my brain and makes an ideal password which is impossible to break.
