Matt gets hacked. Evidently he forgot the wise words of Podz:

There are sometimes posts on the forum asking about the security of WP, but no-one ever seems to think that their password – which they set – could possibly be at risk. Your password is your weakest link.

Or maybe he just lost track of his random password generator? del.icio.us is your friend. To be fair, if you’re shifting about from machine to machine you haven’t got a hope in hell of remembering a randomly generated 16-digit alphanumeric code, but 8 characters is easy; memorise two of those, and there’s your 16. You store phone numbers in your brain, there’s room for decent passwords. No excuse.
