Do these Idiots with FREE Email accounts actually think their Email is secure?

I’m unsure what this is all about.

Were the accounts stolen from an source, such as public wifi or something?

This seems concerning, but I’m not yet sure whether this is a real issue, or not?

Something weird came up on my computer last week. I immediately changed a lot of passwords.

Don’t care. All I use my Gmail or Yahoo accounts for is testing software stuff or hassling snowflakes on various sites around the globe.

Meh.

"We don't know the way he did it or the reason why he did it."

The user names and passwords were all being sold on the so-called “dark web,” where hackers hock their goods.

LOL....They answered that $64K question, themselves.

My password has always been **********.

Seems safe so far.

But then, I’ve noticed other people using ********** also.

Maybe I should change mine.

I know what I’ll do. I’ll reset it backwards. Just hope I can remember it.

Lots of luck closing a Gmail account.

I have one that I have not used for maybe more than 5 years.

I entered the user name and password in the site that is supposed to allow one to close an account and was refused.

Then I was asked the most impossible questions one can imagine.

Like: On what date did you last use it.

On what date did you open it.

And this one the ultimate in stupid: What was your first phone number?

Which first? The first one at the parents new house in 1938?

The first one after I got married?

Which marriage?

The first one in my present home?

And it just got worse from there on.

The heck with it.

It would be easier to win any court case that might arise out of someone pretending to be me and writing a hate letter to the president, or whatever, than to deal with google.

Damn google.
