I first thought I should e-mail Randy about this, but this pretty much warrants a post here.

I haven't been posting on FlyerTalk for the past few months because of work, and I posted today for the first time in a while and noticed this on my profile:

I'm a bit concerned by these comments under location and I tend to keep my passwords secret, as well as use a variation of them.

But somehow, a user here has been able to alter my location, and it bothers me.

Can anyone offer any insight as to the security of the FlyerTalk system?

And after a comment like this, can anyone tell me how long it's been like this?

Any help is appreciated.

Security is always a concern, however if the board itself had been compromised experience tells us here that the defacing would have been on a much larger scale -- if hacker or hackers got into the board they would have altered 100s of profiles not one.

Access to the server is tightly controlled -- we know who acesses the machine, and where it was accessed from -- there have been no unusual server accesses logged.

Your account may have been compromised but it has not been compromised via server or board system intrusion.
