Unlikely, as, no one even knows the account #/s where the bulk of 1mdc-GRAM deposits are kept, it is protected professionally by a complex, changing password, and it is 1mdc's responsibility anyway -- we'd just replace the e-gold. Regarding guessing a password at 1mdc: They could do that -- but: 1mdc-grams ALREADY prevents against sequential attacks by someone trying lots of passwords and lots of account numbers. Which e-gold does not. Also, as you said: "Jim Ray did ... suggest to everyone that passwords should be fairly complex " In fact, on 1mdc grams, you are *forced* to use a complex password. In all events, e-gold has to immediately shut down these ongoing robot attacks. Either by taking ten seconds to block the IP, or taking a minute to add their outstanding "turing test" to the log-in screen. Incidentally, 1mdc-grams will soon be renamed "fastgrams" at www.fastgrams.com -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Most of the world's great religions are hijacked from time to time by men who use the religious faith of others to manipulate them for self- serving purposes. Environmentalism is different however. It is not a religion that happens to be manipulated from time to time for political purpose--for the power and money it can bring to its controllers. Environmentalism is a religion which has been deliberately created, for the sole purpose of manipulating its followers." Arthur B.
