Just out of interest, how did this hacking work/happen? How can someone get access to your Planet Auran profile?

We have no idea! It doesn't seem possible, because Auran's servers are https servers which are secure.....

The trainz forums, on the other hand, are plain old http...

Did you ever login to your Planet Auran account from a "public" computer? i.e. Library, Hotel, etc. If you use the "keep me logged in" feature of the forums and signon from a public computer and you don't explicitly signoff the next user on that computer now has access to your account because it is still signed on. Be very careful when using public computers to access confidential information. Tom.

I think some hackers treat it as a game. How many accounts/sites can you hack into in 24 hrs, sort of thing.
