This will include "amazing" sea life photos (and I mean amazing not just the old hanging dead fish on a hook), photos of our area that are 15 years or older, fun parties from 20+ years ago.  Please include a description and who took the pic.  For today's funny photo, go to the end of this BPE.  (Oh, and do ask permission, please don't get me in hot water!)

INTERNET HACKING

a.  My Hotmail account was hacked last week and now I don't have access to it.  So all my contacts were lost.  VERY frustrating.   If you know me I sure would appreciate a note so I can add your name to my contacts.  Pat Sprague   baja.ynotnow@gmail.com
(I received an email from Pat and this is really serious about her Hotmail account.  Below is an excerpt: "Everyone on my contact list got an email saying I was in Wales and had been mugged.  If you responded then they asked for money.  They had all my emails forwarded to them so it looked like the answer was coming from me.  They changed the password and Microsoft (Hotmail) won't let me back on even though I gave them all sorts of identifying info.  I had some very sensitive financial info on there so have had to hire an "Identity Guard" company to monitor my credit report.  I not only lost personal email info but business stuff.  Not fun.)

b.  http://snopes.com/fraud/distress/distress.asp

c.  It has happened to me, too, Cheryl.  It is usually caused by someone getting ahold of your email address password and the solution is usually as simple a changing of that password.  If the victim wants to go further, they can close that email account and open a new one with all new email address and new password.

d.  Sadly, the hackers are persistent and innovative.  Most of them nowadays are getting access to private info through FaceBook.  Setting the privacy parameters there is a major blockage for you.
       Also, other people who you communicate with may have their areas compromised by leaving private information accessible to  hackers, and then can also find your address.  It's not OK anymore to give out your EMail address to just anyone.
       I have several Email addresses to combat the hackers.  One is just for personal use and doesn't get released unless I know that person.  You can set up others less private, using say - Gmail and then when you get a funny response to the GMail address, you know that it's a hacker, and you can set up an automatic filter to weed out the culprits.
       The best way to get "cleaned up" is to get a new EMail address for your personal and private mail, and then use the old compromised address as your more "public" Email address.  That way, you always have a secure address.

e    I wanted to send this reply in regards to the request for more information on how email accounts get hacked.
 The majority of the time a hacker gains access to an email account by a method called "Phishing". It is called this because the hacker will create a fake site or webpage(the bait) and then send messages to potential victims via Email, Instant Messages, Facebook, etc; asking them to login to the seemingly legitimate site, hoping that someone will "bite". The fake sites will look like an email page, banking site, Social Networking, Auction site, and so on. Once a victim attempts to login, any details they enter are provided to the "Hacker". Phishing scams are not generally targeting a specific person, but are sent out to thousands(or millions) of people in the hopes that a few will hand over their details.
 You can read more about phishing here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
And more importantly; This site has some great recommendations on How to avoid Phishing scams.  http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html

f.  Being from LA and working in marketing, I've been getting those emails for as long as I can remember - at least ten years!!!!  The relative is the most common but there are lottery winning notifications from Mumbai or the UK (Those seem to be the most popular..:-), an inheritance to be claimed from a long lost dead uncle living in Zimbabwe (or somewhere in Africa, and all sorts of different prizes - Mercedes, Range Rovers, Etc. that need to be claimed.  
       They all want ONE THING - your bank account routing numbers!!  It's the same scam as someone offering to buy an item from you, sending a cashier's check for the amount PLUS a shipping fee and getting you to send the item.  The cashier's check is voided and you're out the $$$ and the item.
       Try and remember one simple motto - if it sounds too good to be true - DO NOT OPEN THAT EMAIL!!  Sometimes it's a virus and other times it's looking for information.  Either way, send it to spam or just hit that DELETE key!!
