I AM NOT IN LONDON...

NOTE!

Sorry folks this morning my e-mail and facebook accounts were hacked. As some of you may know, me giving out a password or falling for some scam giving it out is something that would never happen. Nor would any phantom key-logging software get installed across my computers.

It looks to me at the moment that it was what is called a "brute force" attack across facebook. Sadly my facebook password was the same as my e-mail account. My facebook account is still down and I cannot access it, hopefully that may get corrected.

Facebook even has a special help section for this type of hack and money scam so apparently it happens often. Facebook is a great resource but also a target for those seeking to do bad in the world.

RECOMMENDATIONS!

Create a separate password for everything and do not make them simple, letters and numbers, capitals, symbols, mix it up.

Never give out info blindly online, NEVER!

Never download anything from an e-mail unless you are expecting it.

And finally...

Lets send more letters and cards in the good old mail! I like it and still write in pencil too!

Thanks!
