An important alert ....

The last 24 hrs or so someone (reasonably to fairly sophisticated) 
has been going wild on bananagold.com!

(This seems fairly pointless, as you couldn't really steal an order 
in there, and ship it to an address, as your address would be known.)

Naturally no one has been able to break in.

Fascinatingly, I think the hackerette even has a sort of program that 
quickly tries a few different approaches.  (You know, fake the id 
number, fake the amount .. etc.)  As each one comes in rapid 
succession.

Additionally, numerous other sites (that I am aware of or we did the 
software for) have been attempted-hacked vigorously the last couple 
of days.

A number of market makers like Graham have reported people vigorourly 
trying (unsuccessfully) to put keyboard sniffers on his home 
computers.  Other market makers and DCs have reported someone 
extensively trying to subvert their SCIs.


The fact is: anyone running a site with anything to do with e-gold 
should be super careful.  How good is your security?

Think about each of your server's security, and your software, and 
your home computers, and social engineering!

JPM!
