Two friends related how their emails (both from the same email platform) have been hacked. Of course, the one who hacked the email sent spam messages to their contacts.
Hubby’s email was almost compromised too, and yes, from the same services that the first two used.
So, if people get laptop insurance, they should also protect their email addresses (and files!) from being compromised to avoid phishing and becoming victims of identity theft.
Here are a few tips that might help on how to protect your emails from getting hacked:
- avoid predictable passwords like your birthdate, Social Security number, birthdates of your children, maiden names, name of spouse, wedding anniversary date (these information can be easily hunted down for the purpose of getting your account hacked)
- use letters and numbers and special characters in your passwords
- do not disclose your login details and passwords to others (maybe unless in dire emergencies)
- clear the cache or your browsing history if you are using an internet cafe
- NEVER click on links that seem suspicious
Be net savvy and safe!

The nights are colder now and rarely do I hear the complaint “it’s hot” from people.The rains, torrential and like cats and dogs most of the time, just when the children are on their way home from school, are at times too much to handle.
To those living in higher altitude, I guess it is time to bring out those heated mattress pads. For us who are in the lowlands, we minimize the use of electrical appliances that make the rooms cool since there is a lot of cool air circulating around.
Every afternoon, strong rains beat down on us. A lot of people are getting sick because from morning till mid-afternoon the sun is shining so brightly but the rains come down from mid-afternoon till evening.
How can one prepare for the rainy days to avoid getting sick?
- Take plenty of vit c love, be these in tablet form or from fresh sources.
- Get enough sleep and eat the right kind of food.
- Bring your umbrella and/or raincoat and/or rain gear every time you step out of your house.
- Rest if you fell unwell.
- Consult a doctor for persistent cough, flu, fever and/or runny nose.
