So the other day a hacker finds out my password somehow and gets into my google account (email and adsense), my paypal, my website and my website's FTP. He changes the passwords on my Google account and my website, and changes the security question and language as well on my Google account. On my google account he emails a bunch of my contacts and pretends to be me in an effort to embarass me, then he deletes a ton of emails and subscribes me to a bunch of really lame stuff. Then on my website he makes a bunch of fake posts on the front page, submits a bunch of games and movies and stuff into my database, and deletes users, posts and topics from my forums. Then on my paypal he withdraws $25.00.
The only way I was able to get my Google account back was by emailing Google and later on 411'ing them and calling them, then having to show them proof of past cheques from Adsense and emails and stuff. So now that I have my stuff back, I have to go through and unsubscribe to all the sites he signed me up for, delete all the stuff he put into my website's database, change all my passwords and then reply to all those people he emailed. Also now I have to go and reprogram a bunch of my website's security stuff, and now I have to look for anything he might have done to my code (because he was in my FTP as well).
On top of all that, I was just about to release The World's Hardest Game 2 right when he hacked me, so my sponsor was waiting for me to reply but I couldn't because I couldn't log into my email, and I couldn't email him from my other email because I couldn't remember how to spell his email address (Google does all that automatically in Gmail). And now we have to postpone the release of the game a few days, even though it's done.
What a bitch, eh?
