My Yahoo account was hacked about two months ago.  Not great as I had a lot of work contacts listed. 

Password changed and a few "sorry" emails.


Addendum:

F'in Quote function has been hacked.

 :shocked:

Infact, Photobucket gets done over from time to time, Myspace, sites like that, tends to be where some of that stuff comes from.

Gmail FTW, they've just added 2-factor authentication (if you want) which makes it almost impossible as you get text a code to your mobile that you use to authorize your PC for 30 days

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
