Hah!  if so, that's both funny and scary.  That's assuming the

It was a pretty lame password, sorry. Sometimes I just get lazy. From what I can tell there were no WP exploits used, it was just the login form.

It is important to set a good example. *smile* If they could hack Matt, they could hack anyone, which was unnerving for a few hours...

With kind regards,
