EMAIL HACKERS ALERT!!!

This is an urgent alert to all people who have email accounts.  It has recently been brought to my attention that a hacker was able to gain access to someone's email account at Yahoo.com.  Fortunately, Yahoo sent this person a notification that the hacker gained access from somewhere in the United Kingdom.

They got through all of the security settings and programs!!  This is scary!  My advice is to change ALL of your passwords, and I mean ALL OF THEM.  Be alert and set your system security settings to high unless you get a cookies notification.  In that case, you can always change it back.  Its better to be safe than sorry.

If these hackers can get into your email account, they can get into your bank accounts online.  Change your passwords and make them long!  The longer the better, and make them complicated.  Hackers now have a system that runs through a series of numbers until it finally finds the matching password.  Change your passwords often - once a week, or more!

Be safe my friends.

SCAM ALERT ABOUT YOUR ELECTRIC BILLS

This alert is to inform you that there is another SCAM going around regarding your electric bills.  Someone is saying that the President will pay your electric bills with a new stimulus program.  They're also asking for your social security number and bank account numbers.  THIS IS A SCAM!  It isn't true.  As a reminder, never ever give out your social security number or bank account numbers to anyone! 

When the government does stimulus programs, they always notify you via snail mail and never call you or send you an email.  In addition, it would be all over the news, notifying you of a new stimulus program.

BE CAREFUL AND STAY ALERT!
