I'm back @neoxian.
Thank you for nuking that POS post. I hope everyone leaves the flags there because it's a badge of stupidity on my part for signing in with my master key. Lesson learned. I've got the welts on my account (and my hide from kicking myself) to remind me never to do that again.

Glad to read that you have your account back @merej99.
I know it's risky to use your Master key, but does this mean that there is a bot on the lookout for master keys the moment you use it? Presuming you made this mistake just once of course ;)
Best guess, I think it was actually more of a brute force kind of deal. I was lazy and saved my passwords in Chrome but didn't secure my email. Once they had that, they had the keys to the kingdom.
Aah. Expensive lesson it was... I can't repeat what I tell my friends who think I'm paranoid for nothing :)
