Unbelievable. Gmail/Facebook: HACKED!

Basically, I had to set up another gmail account, so Facebook/Gmail could contact me about my original gmail account. So, once I was able to get my original account back, what Kim just said, a header showed up at the top of my inbox, in RED, warning me that my account may of been hacked and to change my password immediately, and so I did that. Gmail did give me a page of the IP addresses, showing me the strange activity that was going on, and it was all coming from Nigeria!

Once I got into my original email, I had to change everything in settings. Apparently this hacker set up a 'forwarding' address, so I had to delete that, etc. because my messages were not coming in Inbox, as it should be, and kept ending up in Trash. All fixed now!

After I read of all this, I changed my Google password. I made it so darn complicated, that I had to write it down until I get used to it.

Gmail is good about sorting out spam and sending it directly to the spam box, rather than the regular in box. Occasionally a spam gets thru, but not too often. You can tell without even reading them, that most are from Nigeria, and I just delete them en-masse.

Facebook has disabled my account again, I suppose to make sure that it was me, using it, so they keep asking me questions. It is taking forever to get my account back, even though it only has been a day. It is frustrating.
