I hope this stops soon because i just got logged off then logged on again.I then changed my password so i hope it doesn't happen again. p.s. why would they want to hack me instead of someone else?

If it's implanted software, it chooses random users. Changing pass or using on-screen keyboard won't stop the outlogging; it will prevent your password from becoming obtained when you enter it as you log back in.

However, the logging out should cease after a couple days of lacking success to obtain your pass.

I guess it was lucky for me I was lazy for a few days. I hate logging in, I remembered being logged out and I waited awhile to log back in.

So...I remember this happening about a week ago. I have firefox remembering my password, so I just logged back in. It happened a few times over a couple days and then stopped. Should I be worried about it, or just ignore it since it stopped?

Likely nothing to worry about. If someone had your pass, they would've changed it already. It never hurts to change pass now and then, of course.

It was for me, but there are no guarantees. On-screen keyboard is easily accessible, so there's no downside to using that in addition to copy+paste.

Yes. There have been far too many cases, and many have tried scanning their systems thoroughly and found nothing. Furthermore, the only signs are on this forum.
It wouldn't be too hard to hack the code, but I'm certainly not going into details.

the only one who could really look into this and actually do something about it is SG who has been locked in her own basement for 4 days now. So we'll just need to see how this turns out. :-\
