Email,then Ppal, they bought a new Iphone thru ebay, which kicked into my credit card. Once they are inside your email, the sewer trolls watch your email for the alerts congratulating you on your ebay purchase and delete the emails instantly as they come in, so you never know. No biggy,,, Ppal refunded my money and the credit card. Changed all my passwords to very strong ones . A good friend has 20 years in military Intel,and has been a private contractor for them for 7 more. He said they had put a keystroke virus in. By chance and work, switched computers.. So fresh start all the way around.
Got hacked again a cpl weeks ago. Just email. I went into my contacts,,I've had the same email for 17 1/2 years. ALL the good stuff,,everyone and everything... Family, friends, every new ATC/ATV/Bike I knew of,names,numbers locations,,,all gone. Even has a tab, restore all deleted contacts,,,nothing. It's wiped clean... So,,, this morning,as always I have a zillion things that I need to be doing outside,but I'm stuck in here making calls and fighting paperwork for my brother... I ask my girls if there is any bacon left.. They have 2 friends over,and well,,, they eat like horses.. What pops up on the ad side of my email???????? Hormel ads for bacon, Oscar mayer ads for bacon. I have many friends that tape over the cameras on their computers,,but THIS?? I am freaking speechless. I am sure most of you realize every time you search for a truck, you get GMC or Ford truck ads along the side of your emails,and even on here at 3WW. But voice!!?? Anyone else? I will be calling my buddy, but this crap is just nuts..
