Odd.

I had several posts on FR under my name that were not me.

Happened after being in the airport and using free WiFi.

They weren’t weird or anything, just not mine.

I assumed there was another Freeper sitting there in the airport.

Because someone was sniffing the network, and ether captured your logon ID/pwd or they dup’d your cookie. This is script-kiddy stuff.

If you use public networks you MUST use a VPN or you will get f’d. PERIOD.
