Hacked Email
I’ve probably had a dozen friends get their email hacked in the last two weeks. Some of them were old college and high school friends who aren’t particularly Internet savvy, but more than a few were people who I wouldn’t expect it to ever happen to. I’ve seen it happen to gmail, yahoo, aol, and hotmail accounts.
I’m curious how it happens. Are you somehow tricked into giving away your password at a bogus login page? My friends who have been hacked all claim they have no idea what they did.
If anyone reading this on tumblr has ever been hacked before, how did it happen?
