Dear All,
This is just to let you know that my e-mail addresses/contacts have been hacked into by person/s unknown. Don't know how this has happened but could have been caused by my PC being kept switched on overnight so that the "duplicates software" could clear the duplicates.
I have informed the Police (data protection dept) as I am told that they have some means of tracking these fellows. It is of course quite embarassing as I have been busy all morning answering phone calls and not living it up in good old "Ukraine"!.
Sarawark, please let our mutual friend know that everything is under control as best as possible. My e-mail address is OK and I have changed my password. However, all my addresses in the contacts file have been cleaned out. It is empty.So perhaps my bank manager too will get an e-mail from me!!!!!!!!
It would seem that with Christmas around the corner the hackers are out in full force. I have just been told of a clergyman who has suffered the same fate. Also other friends who have had this problem.
I have advised my bank that no payment (over £50) is to be made via my account without it being cleared by me- just a precaution- although my online account is secure as best as I know.
Thank you very much for letting me know via this thread as well via PM's.
Regards
Nathaniel
