Email Accounts Hacked and Threatened

Email Accounts Hacked and Threatened

Instead of starting the day working on my website and training as planned, I had to put it all aside because I got this threatening mail advising that my accounts had been hacked. The mail included various threats and not a request but a demand for money or else.

It adviced that it was pointless going to the authorities as they/he could not be traced. So I had to pass/waste a considerable amount of my day changing passwords and submitting a report to Google.

I'm not going to let this deter my day however, but it does throw you off a bit.

I'm moving on and going to have a wonderful day.
