E-TRADE HAS BEEN HACKED!! E-TRADE HAS BEEN HACKED!! you haven't heard anything yet, this is what happened to me today: All day yesterday I could not log on to e-trade, when trying to send them an e-mail, a side windows opened and you know what was written loud and clear on top? 'Macontosh Sucks!' That means: E-TRADE HAS BEEN HACKED!! When I called today, explaining that I had not been able to log on since yesterday, their tech support was snobbish, unfriendly and almost yelled at me. Until I mentioned 'Macintosh sucks' and you could hear his heart drop...he reluctantly admitted that someone was either hacking them or somebody from inside e-trade needed to be fired. yes, i was not the only macintosh user who had seen the message and had not been able to log on! I have had many problems with e-trade, but this tops it all, I'm ready for action...customers need to be warned of e-trade!
