Ny account was hacked so if you got a weird email “Subject: RE: Fw: Re:” just DELETE IT without replying. It’s not a virus, you’re safe unless you click on the link. You can’t get a virus if you don’t click on the link. If you REPLY to the email, that lets them know a real person is at that address. If you just delete it without clicking the link or replying, you’ll only get a few. All passwords have been changed.  But I know how it happened. Yesterday on Facebook I went to “Settings” and chose “Download a copy of your Facebook data.”  Don’t do that!  It was going to send the data to my email account in a zip file.  It did not do that. It looks like what happened is anyone in my FB friends list that lists their email address in their Facebook info got some spam from my old AOL account.

I know it’s connected to Facebook because many of the names it went to are FB friends I don’t know and don’t have in my AOL address book. Like several friends who do not list their email address on FB yet I have in my AOL address book did not get the spam email. But on the upside I got to connect with friends and got two ads for the upcoming magazine!  There are no mistakes, ever.

Fingers crossed! Continue reading →
