Thanks for the heads-up and tips, and good to see you got your account under control! The worst thing is when it happens to a person who "knows these things", it hurts even more... I remember when the AI thing got into the 6th gear, my hosting server was hacked multiple times in a few weeks...

As you said, it happens, and it will happen to everyone, sooner or later... Hopefully, just a silly, ridiculous thing like this one, and not something much more serious...

Btw, the tactic of stealing some data and staying dormant for a few days or weeks before harming is a popular, recent strategy... So, maybe your data leaked a week ago, or more, and he executed the "attack" now...

Interestingly, I got a DM from you too (okay, not you but hacker 😃), and he/she sent a message into the group chat with Achim and me... lol... Sent the message, and left the chat room, so you had no idea it came out...
