    This happened shortly after AOL posted a message about how they had fixed 
    their security problems.
    
    It could have been much worse. If they wanted to really screw people up they 
    could have gotten them to give up credit card numbers, buy products on-line 
    (which may have already been done), and whatever other evil that comes to 
    mind.  (AOL users being the most inexperienced and gulible users outside of a 
    .gov address.)
