Why do I think account was hacked? Now I understand forum rules, not specific to email forums like this but web forums. And I am not one of those who would spam serious discussion communities. And being a system administrator since more than 3 years and after spending time working in one of the biggest IT MNC in the world, I understand password complexities and policies. I implement those in the networks I handle. So I guess I know it was cracked. And it was not only me who suffered the attack. There were some more people. Hence.
