email Hijacks & Ransom

September 25, 2007 · Print This Article

As Reported On the Kim Komando Show (www.komando.com) Last Night:
Kim Komando web site.
Email addresses like your@hotmail.com, your@yahoo.com and others are being hijacked and ransomed for $100.

If you use the same password for other accounts banking, or any logins there could be bigger problems in the future.

Use passwords with letters (with and with & out-caps), numbers and control(whatever symbols). And change them several times a year. The hard part is to keep these in a safe place. That does not include your cell phone, a spread sheet or a word doc.

If you have an interest in beefing up your security please let me know.
