Comment on WordPress Security Tip: Log-in to cPanel Securely by Susanne Myers

Thanks again for this tip – I first read it on Facebook when you initially posted this. Thought I’d stop by here and mention what I did after reading this…. I use Roboform (per your recommendation) and went in and change the url in my roboform files. The same will work if you just bookmark your cpanel links in your browser.

Hypnodomme – proper spelling

Sorry, but this is all new to me. I spelled the word wrong – hypnodomme. Never heard of this word until one year ago. They call it erotic hypnotism.

Hypnodom scam

There are few few websites promoting hypnodom (Lady Christine and Nikki Fatale) and they fail to mention that it is just another form of pornography. Men enter into this fantasy world and think no one will get hurt, it is just a fantasy world. There are no porn pictures on their websites. You just download their sessions onto an MP3 player. Then listen to the sessions and no one can tell what you are doing. These sites just led to more sexual addiction. If you notice, women are not ask to join their cult. (women are not that stupid-sorry, I listened and found it very boring) But they are making lots of money from the male gender. I am female, had a partner involved in this stuff and the hypnosis took over his life and now we are in counselling.
Just wanted to warn others to not give them any money.
