This morning I lay in bed listening to the familiar gobble!gobble!gobble!
outside. But then I
heard it followed by a sort of continuous clickclickclickclick.
No turkeys,
but as I stood at the window a bobcat passed by, about ten feet from my window.
I think I’ll be taking a good look and a deep breath before venturing out in
the backyard to garden.
I’d received a worrisome email from my
bank a couple of days ago, congratulating my on my successful change of
password. WHAT????
I immediately called my good friends
at the bank’s fraud division. After two different conversations and much
entering and re-entering information I entered another ID and password,
re-upped the phone online facial recognition check, and changed the connecting
email account from Gmail to Yahoo.
(Since over the winter we had our Verizon
account hacked, our bank accounts – 3 X -, our brokerage account, and My Guy’s
computer hacked, we’re old hands at this stuff)
Well, at 2am that night I received another email from my
bank telling me I’d been locked out of the online access and I needed to go
back in and change passwords. Hmmm.
1.
Even though it looked legit at first, when we
compared it to another message from the bank, it was different.
2.
It was sent to my Gmail account, which was no
longer the email on record.
I would love to see a bobcat.
ReplyDeleteSigh on the hackers. They are getting clever here too. Very bloody clever.
Barbarians at the gate. It seems the hackers are multiplying daily.
DeleteWow, you've been hacked a LOT! I've never seen a bob cat, he's a very sturdy boy.
ReplyDeleteThey really do look very cuddly. But then I'm a cat lover.
DeleteIt's hard to know what's real these days, isn't it? Hope you get that straightened out.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing how similar the phony email page was to the actual bank's page.
