About 48 hours ago, on October 24, 2011 I'd noticed that my Acer LiquidE Android phone was having a problem logging into Google.
Last night I corrected that problem.
Then it seemed my Yahoo email account might have been compromised too; but that was a false alarm I credit to fatigue since I'd been up since 0430h on October 25.
Today I have changed my Google account password, and may never know what happened.
When I changed my password Google claimed there was a lot of abnormal activity regarding my account, but failed to provide details.
For all I know, my use of the insecure Wifi portal at UBC on Monday might have been when the breach occurred.
However, this means having to email UBC's IT department.
Hopefully, the hackers did not get my CWL account password.
So, after this blog entry I plan to do just that: email UBCIT and see if we can work together to catch these hackers at the university.
NOTE TO HACKER(S): I am onto you. I will hunt you down. You will be tracked, and your days are numbered. This is your first and only warning!! This is not an idle threat. — Sageb1

Jerry Rubin Quote Echoes Unabomb Manifesto 230
"What would happen if the white ideological Left took power? The hippie streets would be the first cleaned up by the 'socialist' pigs. We'd be forced to get haircuts and shaves every week. We'd have to bathe every night, and we'd go to jail for saying dirty words. Sex, except to produce children for the revolution, would be illegal. Psychedelic drugs would be capital crimes and beer drinking mandatory. Rock dancing would be taboo, and mini-skirts, Hollywood movies and comic books illegal." - Jerry Rubin
"The more dangerous leftists, that is, those who are most power-hungry, are often characterized by arrogance or by a dogmatic approach to ideology. However, the most dangerous leftists of all may be certain oversocialized types who avoid irritating displays of aggressiveness and refrain from advertising their leftism, but work quietly and unobtrusively to promote collectivist values, "enlightened" psychological techniques for socializing children, dependence of the individual on the system, and so forth. These crypto-leftists (as we may call them) approximate certain bourgeois types as far as practical action is concerned, but differ from them in psychology, ideology and motivation. The ordinary bourgeois tries to bring people under control of the system in order to protect his way of life, or he does so simply because his attitudes are conventional. The crypto-leftist tries to bring people under control of the system because he is a True Believer in a collectivistic ideology. The crypto-leftist is differentiated from the average leftist of the oversocialized type by the fact that his rebellious impulse is weaker and he is more securely socialized. He is differentiated from the ordinary well-socialized bourgeois by the fact that there is some deep lack within him that makes it necessary for him to devote himself to a cause and immerse himself in a collectivity. And maybe his (well-sublimated) drive for power is stronger than that of the average bourgeois." - T. Kaczynski, unabomb manifesto 230
So, then if the unabomb manifesto author is merely rephrasing Rubin's quote, then surely Kaczinski is not the original author of the manifesto.
Indeed, quite probably Industrial Society and its Future was not originally penned by Kaczinski, as can be determined by the use of "we" and "us", two pronouns anarchists do not use but have been used by radicals writing in anonymity as part of a "domestic terrorist" group.
