There have been invalid access attempts on all my e-gold a/cs, today and yesterday. The higher the a/c #, the later the attempt. (Fortunately, nothing stolen.)
Several people on another list have reported similar hacking attempts. This suggests that someone has written a program to automatically attempt to access each e-gold a/c in turn, probably using the same password, with the hope that someone is using that password. (It's relatively easy to write such a program.) If so, the thief can continue endlessly checking all e-gold a/cs for particular passwords. It's probably wise to make passwords long and complex.
