....email has been hacked...
Does anyone have their phone no. to let them know (assuming they don't
already?).
So sad about all the hacking of late.
Computeractive said in a recent issue that millions of passwords had been
stolen from LinkedIn, Last FM/Spotify and eHarmony and now it looks like B T
inte rnet email possibly hacked too.
Couple that with rumours (admittedly only speculation) that what happened to
some of the big UK banks in the last week or so was initiated by a hacking
or DOS attack prior to the "old technology failure" officially admitted.
Computeractive magazine gave the website address http://leakedin.org for
checking if your passwords are on a "stolen" list.
Must be some big scale foreign hacking going on, or we are simply hearing
about more incidents, so remember to use STRONG passwords everyone.
It's easy to make emails look like they're coming from someone else, but
these spammers have obviously gained access to contacts lists within the
email accounts.
The internet sure as hell ain't the friendly place it used to be years ago!
