Accounts Hacked (My Son's)
10/7/2024 | Me

Posted on 10/07/2024 7:35:13 AM PDT by ducttape45

Hello all. Just wanted to pass on word so ya'all will have a head's up.

I was notified by son in FL that all his online credentials was hacked. He didn't go into specifics (I'm sure that will be forthcoming) but he had to migrate to a new email address and his financial logon credentials had to be changed as well. I was also informed by my ex-wife that her Google Play was hacked as well.

I hear this kind of stuff is on the rise, so I implore all my fellow Freepers to be on their guard. I never store any financial info on my phone or computer, and I never use Google Play either. I have only one bank app on my phone and I rarely use it. I also keep all sensitive info off my home network. I keep it all on external drives and I get it out only when I need it.

So please, I implore everyone, take extra precautions. It seems these days this kind of stuff is happening more and more and I would hate to hear of any of you having the same experience.

” The founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are each controlling around 3% of all shares, but are controlling with other insiders the majority of voting shares.”

Page and Brin own almost all of the Class B shares giving them voting rights about the same as the sum all other shareholders.

“That is a direct quote from the source not me.”

Do you not agree with it?

Make sure your log in is not same for all accounts. Bank login different then credit card login etc.
Email different for other two.

Print out the accounts and store the paper in a secure location. If you keep the passwords on your pc or heaven forbid on your cell phone then all your account logins will be stolen.

Here is another option worth looking into. The only downside is it seems like this technology is only compatable with certain browsers.
