So my Outlook email was hijacked Monday. What a pain in the ass.
It was an eye opener for me as my friends replied asking if this was me and they replied yes as if it was me. Anyway, we managed to get hold of Microsoft, changed the password and stopped the bleeding within a couple of hours. We managed to get everything back except my contact list. I used to store all my account numbers, user names and passwords in my contact list because it's convenient but now I'm not so sure. So I'll hide it better from now on. That's the easy part.
What's more difficult is if someone has access to your email, they can find out a lot more serious information about you such as conversations with lawyers, accountants, tax returns etc. Now I'm a pretty organized guy so it doesn't take much to find these email threads once you're in my email. So how do you protect them?
I know this is an escort review board so it's kind of funny I'm posting this here. But as I do my research, I know there are some pretty smart cookies in this group so I would like to hear some feedback of what you guys do to protect personal information. I know it's getting harder and harder to prevent hacking but there must be some logical steps I can take to safe guard these thigns.
Thank you in advance.
