Jim P. will become famous soon enough
Re: Rabe Anton / Jim K.

I hesitate to speak for JHK, but I talked with him on the phone just a couple of hours ago - he is well aware of the problem and he is quite upset about this. Somehow, at a minimum, his email contact list has been hacked/stolen. Whether it was something on his pc or through his ISP provider is still unknown.

He is working with his local tech resource to resolve the issue. He is trying to stay offline until the problem has been identified and resolved. They're still trying to figure out the specifics of how this happened, but it should be a cautionary event for all of us about doing everything we can to secure our internet connected systems from attack. Oh, and BTW, JHK is using a Norton product for internet security.
