... but I know I'd logged off, the last time I used du! The really scary part? I know I shut down my computer at work completely & restarted it (as I do every night before I leave) on Friday.

Am I being paranoid, or has this ever happened to anybody else?

Shouldn't shutting down and restarting a computer clear out cookies & log a person out?

It sort of freaked me out. Needless to say, I didn't feel comfortable posting anything from work!



p.s., I think I'll change my DU password now, too, while I'm thinking about this.

I am a computer idiot but the answer is no.

Some sites do,some don`t guessing it has something to do with the type of cookie they use.

Total time logged in: 7 days, 22 hours and 33 minutes.


I never log out out, even when I shut the computer down.  If a site allows me the option of staying logged in "Forever", I do it.

Cookies normally don't delete after power off. As for the other "hack" stories It wouldnt surprise me. DU is running on heavy modified yet ancient software. Id say its hackable.

Someone popped Operation "DUmbass" a tad too early.

The CIC Section will find you.  Teh Rove has already issued the orders.

I try to stay logged in forever, but my wife usually gets bored of it.
