84.80

So this morning I woke up the best way possible, discovering a random charge of $84.80 to my credit account through charges from my web host, JustHost. Turns out at roughly 1AM this morning someone managed to register two domains, a $50 domain advertising package, and domain privacy. So I spent this morning half awake, trying to communicate with a very helpful support technician. Not, seriously, she was very helpful, just the whole British versus American accent thing was not as enjoyable as a cup of coffee for waking up.

I logged into my JustHost account and noticed a different IP address, which obviously shows my account was breached. Odd thing is, I chose a random password generator, this password was so queer that I had to keep a copy of the password stored in my BlackBerry password keeper.

The IP address (74.115.160.20, if anyone wants to try some fun) came from a company WiTopia. Some VPN leasing company. Go figure, someone is using their service as a proxy for malicious purposes.
