A Whole Lot of Hacking Going On...

This morning I discovered that my gmail account was hacked and an email sent to everyone in my Contacts saying that I was stranded in London and needed money.  First let me say thank you to everyone who has called and emailed to make sure I'm ok.  Yes, I am (and let me give you an updated address to send that money to…)

Second, let me say what a pain it has been to clean up everything.  Fortunately, Google has a list of steps to go through to check everything because I would never have thought of most of them.  Google also has a two-step verification process that you can opt into that may have helped.  When you sign on, not only do you have to put in a password, they send a text to your phone that you then have to enter.  I'm doing that now. 

I guess my brain doesn't work that way, but I just can't understand why some people are so mean.
