THEY HACK EVEN ONLINE BANKING

BEWARE of identity theft and many other ways how new age thieves can steal from you.

At the rate of how the world is turning out to be filthier than the trash, I am not surprised to hear of different kinds of selfishness happening the world-over! Varying kinds of crime happens here and there. And the NET is not an exemption.

As it is common nowadays to do online banking, it is expected that those vile people will also do everything they can to get information that can make them breach the bank's security, or YOUR SECURITY. How do they do that? They send you FAKE mails. Pretending that it comes from your bank (or other important accounts) asking for information, and as you provide them, they then go for the kill...and leave you with nothing!!!

SO BE CAREFUL!!! If there is a message that asks for information, call your bank. If you notice yahoo now have devised a way to spare us from phishers, the SIGN IN SEAL. Use it. For other accounts, they don't have it so just be doubly careful.

Truly the world is different. Be more on a defense now.

HACKED GMAIL ACCOUNT?

"My Gmail Account have been accessed!!!"

2-3 weeks ago I received an alert in my inbox that my account has been accessed from the United States. I'm definite that it was not me since I am all the way here in Asia. It increased my heart beat and had been frantic with worry as to the possible harm it did.

Immediate action? I changed my passwords. All of them! I just don't know if I have to do that every so often. Maybe every month? Every week? Or everyday? Sigh! These hackers are really pain in the ...!

I am then here posting this for you to be reminded to be very careful as well with your passwords. If you can have them changed all the time, and if it is also possible that you have a different password for each account. JUST NOTE THEM DOWN in a safe place so as not to forget them.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS MORNING I got agitated again when I received a mail, from google it says, that since my account has been compromised (blah, blah) they are asking for my password and other contact information. You can't blame me for raising my eyebrows after what just happened, right? I simply have to ask google first before doing just that.

...but does google really ask for info's like that??? Have you had any similar experience? What did you do? What advice can you give me about this?
