HUZZAH! Banned from Rentech.com!
J. M. Pescado:
Yeah, that would be another one of Rentech's "evil hacker scares" aimed at me. Of course, she goes and states it won't affect existing accounts, but hey, Rentech never made much sense.
DuckSpeak:
Maybe she didn't have lips in the first place? ;)
J. M. Pescado:
Yeah, but you gotta love the utter ridiculousness of the story: "Evil hackers *UNSUCCESSFULLY* attacked our site (meaning the security system works fine!), but we're going to be fascists anyway!". It is clear that the story makes absolutely no logical sense and is just like that "ONOZ! Everyone has to change their password!" scare from a few days before that one.
veilchen:
I don't quite understand the whole "ban" and "hack" thing. If a particular user is banned, what is preventing said user from using another screen-name and e-mail address and thus re-join?
Why would anyone need to hack into a public site? Or did she mean the admin pages? Or what? And how good would you have to be at hacking to get into a public sites admin pages, I wonder.
How could that have been aimed at you JM? As I said before, I have extreme difficulties associating the words "unsuccessful attempt to hack" with you. With me, most definitely, but with you?

The logic of this rather escapes me also. However, the real motivation is to get rid of me. Rentech has gone through these steps because Rentech knows I loathe email and won't touch it. Thus the new email-registration.

Beats me. Like I said, there's no actual logic behind the visible statement, it's just an thinly veiled excuse.

Note the previous "hacker alert" as well. Let's just say that Rentech believes I happen to be in possession of things that are of that nature, and now that I've parted company, Rentech now thinks this represents a threat. Of course, this is complete nonsense, but Rentech obviously wants a witch hunt anyway.
