I am just popping in to say hi and also that I was hacked last week. Apparently, friends and fam in my contact list received a message that I was in London and mugged. I have received the message before from other people and laughed.
Not so funny this time. Well okay. Slightly funny but with a huge plate of major annoyance for free. The thing is, while it was not my main correspondence account, it was the "forgot your credit card login" account. So there was/is high potential to go from major annoyance to outright catastrophe (think new motorcycles charged to cards and shipped to Mexico).
Fortunately, I remembered my security question and answer on my yahoo account, on day two, after about twelve tries.
Unfortunately, I did not remember my security question and answers on my gmail account.
Fortunately, gmail just shut my account off.
Unfortunately, the gmail account is my blogger admin account for this blog, so I don't have dashboard access.
Fortunately, I can post via email to the blog, but that's about it.
At this point, I've checked all my credit cards and I don't see any charges. I definitely am in the process of getting them reissued with new numbers. Just something to add to the bag of annoying tasks to do when you get hacked.
Hackers suck.
Sigh.
