The software being used allows the programmers/owners to capture the passwords being used.
If you register an account on RISQUEBB, or any other similar site, I have been told that the password you choose there can be captured and used. It may already have been put to use.
Now.
Should you do like some people do and use a common password there that you also use here you will have given Marco/MINT/RISQUEBB the ability to access your ECCIE Account.
I would recommend ANY member reading this post that has ever registered on that board or another like it to immediately change their password here and anywhere else, i.e. email accounts where you use the same handle/login and password.
