address!
Wasn't it just last week I confessed that technology "has provided me with the greatest amount of satisfaction and happiness I have had in my life." (Exaggeration always comes back to bite me in the butt.)
Just a few nights ago, apparently someone hacked into my email, high jacked my contact list, and sent spam to everyone on the list--in my name. (Let your guard down for one minute and...bam!)
I feel betrayed by my whole computer system. How could this have happened? More importantly, what can I do about it?
Creating a new email address is just one step in a process. Can any of my readers suggest what else I can do to protect myself in cyberspace?
There is another way to view this incident. (I look...and I must giggle.) For more than two years, I have needed to change my personal email address because it was created by Chaz, my former husband, and the address contained letters from his name. The time had come to do something about that.
Change was afoot, but I was dragging my feet. (I feared fiddling around with my computer and its programs.)
So...boom...
a problem arises...
which necessitates a new address, pronto...
I figure out how to take care of the problem
(this is a big deal for a computerphobe)
and one more thing on my mile-long To-Do List is done!
Signs and Wonders!
