Seems Chester Bennington of Linkin Park fame made the lame mistake of using his middle name as his .Mac password:
Linkin Park's Mysterious Cyberstalker
"The band had just finished recording its new album, Minutes to Midnight, which was due to hit shelves May 15. But Chester wasn't celebrating. He'd lost a year of his life to a stalker, and he was still feeling wounded."
Maybe that explains why the new album sucks.

Serves him right for being a Leninist. What is most funny is how he is so anti-authoritarian and then runs to the authorities when he gets hacked. Cheese dick.

I have a close friend with a cyberstalker. He is a visual artist and musician and his stalker spends hours everyday at home and work on his website (stat counter) and sends him a dozen crazy emails a day. She came to one of his openings and had to be arrested. She is really crazy and he worries about her showing up on his doorstep one day.

You are probably already in jail for killing your parents so the least of your concerns is your password.

No, I'm pretty sure the new album sucks for the same reasons that everything they do sucks.
Because…um… they suck.

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

Poor Chester.
He's got a good singing voice - it's when he screams and shriek that it's sucky. But he's a good singer.
I sometimes browse around eBay looking for hacked and frauded accounts - people selling MBPs or PS3s or something and telling you to contact them via a different email address for the "buy it now price". Since then I've changed my eBay account login to a four-word passphrase. From what I've read, it would literally take decades for current computing power to succeed in a brute-force attack against a passphrase.
Who uses their middle name as a password? Seriously!

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

You were cooler when your posts had to do with making super ninjas.
This isn't very cool.

That's not my actual middle name, though. My parents decided to use its shorter, informal version, b5n;z1.
