Sorry for those that received an email that with some crappy content and asked you to visit a website. Someone hacked into my email account (hobby one) and spammed it with advertisement. One of them was a work at home website and the others were some crappy advertisement.

Again, sorry if you received it. Just ignore it. You should know who you were if you received it. Sorry for the independent and agencies that received it. Please ignore it, damn I am so embarrass.

When I logged on to my email account, it told me to update my new password because it detected "unusual activities". When I logged on and clicked the sent message, I saw about 100 sent messages. I thought it only happened in the movies. Again, sorry, please ignore that spam email. I have a full time job and I do not spam email on the side. I am so embarrass. Sorry again.

BTW, if you get those kind of mails in the future from other people, then its pretty obvious that their emails was hacked into. Just an FYI.

I just updated my new password for the existing email account. I've decided to keep the existing email because it has some sentimental value to it. However, I will create a new email account if that same email is continually hacked into and will notify you of the new email: I have to check the status of it for a few days to check if it is still hacked into.

Don't worry, I love your girls, I love your agency, I love your professionalism, I love how you always respond within a reasonable time frame with a request or an appointment, and I love how you are always able to accommodate me. Don't worry, your agency is probably the first agency I will notify if I make any changes.

No, thank you! I'll definitely update you if I make any changes though, definitely. :) Thanks again!

It's a cinch  for a hacker to find  your first dog's name  ,or  your  Mom's maiden name .
All secret question answers should be lies , for security purposes .
 Similar to " Home " on your GPS should not be your home address .

Once the hacker gets in he can try to forge your email address and spam the crap out of people that were on ur address book. That is why one should never use their work or personal email to hobby. Imagine the hacker sending a mass spam to ur wife and boss and they find out that other 30 emails went to some escorts. Yeah, you would be stoked!!! LOL

In short, to save any future trouble, get a new email, use ur verified phone to get verified with your new email. Or you can pM them with ur TEr handle  ;)

.... the smart thing to do is keep your email accounts clean. By cleaning out old email convos & purge-ing & delete-ing can minimze who you are corresponding with being sent out to, well, everyone.

I don't keep anything in my on line address book.  Does this help protect me or do the "bad" emails simply look at my inbox and or sent box and dish out the bad news from there?  Tech is NOT my strong suite.

It comes down to this.... If your email is hacked, anything in it is up for grabs. It just depends on who is doing the hackin. Sure,  9 times out of 10 its a spammer... But wouldn't you rather be safe instead of sorry. Maybe a jealous gf or suspicious spouse? Employer? Keep that inbox clean, purge and delete. Remember, anything in it is up for grabs.
