Who else has access to our HN accounts??

Yesterday I made this post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4363055) with the title "YC Funded versus lone wolfers".

Yet it has been changed to "ReelSurfer vs HoloKlip"... I know with certainty that I did not use that title.

Does someone have access to HN accounts or is this just the work of moderators. I need to know this since I sign-in to HN using my Google account.

Moderators and site administrators can change titles, and often will if they feel that an existing title misrepresents the content.

As to the question in your title: anybody on the same network as you. HN does not use a secure connection, so arbitrary people can listen for your session cookie and therefore impersonate you. This insecurity can be mitigated (but not eliminated) by using a VPN to a server on a more secure network

That's the mods. Pretty sure they're sensitive to anything with YC in the title.
