I was thinking about gifting a trip to a relative and went to start looking for award availability. Simple dumb luck.

I've since discovered that my email has been hacked too, so I'm busily changing passwords and logins all over the place, having credit cards canceled and all that. Somebody charged an $850 taxi ride (in Everett, WA - where the hell do you go that costs eight hundred bucks?) to a credit card that I've now canceled. F-ing people. I have to treat this as identity theft at this point.

It's funny (weird, not ha ha) - on another FT thread I've been waxing lyrical about a new TV show to which I've become addicted, Mr. Robot on the USA network. The protagonist of the show is a hacker. Funny how life mimics fiction sometimes.
