Flyertalker gone too far
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:

) and at 35,000 feet

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.

Why don't you just change your password to something more secure. Perhaps changing all of your other account passwords would also be a good idea.
And, no, I don't think this warrants a post here. You should e-mail the FlyerTalk people.

This concern seems appropriate for our Technical Issues forum and I'll move it there. While that forum title sounds bland, it really seems the best place to focus on your concerns over the security of this site.
