Some of you may remember my wife's email being hacked yesterday. Well today i had issues fortunetly not hacking related.
I was having the computer cleaned up remotely and spoke with the technician while the clean up was progressing.
He mentioned that 1 way is that if your email is open and you venture to a web site while it is open, a hacker can get into your email account through malware or cookies either accidently or on purpose.
Kind of like leaving the backdoor open while you sit there in the living room making sure the front is locked.
So don't know if it is true or not. But from this day forward the email account will be closed unless i am on it for its intended use.

Yes, I came in, rummaged all around but could not find where you hid your guns. I really didn't care for your wife's jewelry, just guns, and only special ones at that. Yep! You might remember to leave out milk and cookies, like for Santa next time your computer door is open. Just Sayin...RJS

Or if you are unsure of the security of this site you can close your email and enter the site through the web as i did in this transmission.
