This is alarming. Has it happened to you?

Guys, I think a hacker would have better things to do than sprinkle random kudo on random posts.

I see and appreciate that Pat is upset (although personally I would not make a mountain out of a molehill... sorry - personal opinion) 

It is most likely just another bug, rather than something sinister.

Bug or not. I would feel pretty creeped out if it happened to me.

 My that message was intended like "press alt f4 to boost your internet speed" for the imaginary person who stole Pat's password. (Like make them panic and format their hard disk).

If you don't believe me you can press alt f4 to boost your internet speed.

Nichola, Janean, Baris, and Vlad---please consider yourselves kudoed from me since I'm not doing that until this situation is resolved.

Here's an update.  It still appears that I'm giving numerous kudos, and I'm NOT giving any.

In addition, I'm unsure if this is coincidence or not.  I received an email from UW "An unknown device or browser has been used to access your account."  It suggested if I didn't recognize the activity, to reset my password.

Since I knew I hadn't logged in at the time stated, I went directly to the UW site; rather than clicking the link in the email, and AGAIN changed my password.  In light of events I'd just changed my password and my security question on Monday.

I'm going to PM:  Lena, Vlad, and Goran with this information.  Needless to say I'll greatly appreciate insights and even more so when this is resolved.

Yes, I came straight here having seen that "you" gave kudo to one of mine...

That is especially alarming, and I don't think it's a coincidence ... looks like this might indeed be turning into a security issue.

Okay, okay. I won’t log into people's accounts anymore. But, you guys you must understand that it's the only possible way for me to get kudos.

As an update I still have NOT kudoed.  In addition, I have NOT designated any Solutions/Best Answers.  However, Petra's most recent post is noted as one. ???

I was as shocked and bewildered to see that as you are-.
