It may seem inconsequential, but once you get gingivitis, you will rue the day when you were too lazy to take the two minutes to do what was necessary. There are plenty of hackers out there, and as this example demonstrates, they are just as smart as the smartest IT guys at these companies. They pounce on every opportunity they get, and they are not afraid of law enforcement agencies or extorting hard working Americans. Moral: encrypt, encrypt, encrypt!

Blackmail is a Federal Offense, especially given the money involved and the amount of money demanded. I would urge anyone who has fallen victim to this con artist NOT TO PAY a DIME, NOT a PENNY. Instead, contact the FBI ASAP. They will pursue this. I believe some of this has happened to my sister. She says she had her email hijacked, first, they were sending out emails with her email account, then, more recently, she said she was not getting some of her emails, and some of her emails weren't being received. THe only way to really stop this guy and any copycats, is to file complaints with the FBI. The more who file, and the more money it involves, the more intensely the FBI will pursue it. Caving in and paying the blackmail money will only encourage such crimes. Moreover, if you file with the FBI, you will get more and better cooperation from the domain host's administrators, because they don't want the FBI breathing down their necks.

He got into my Gmail Filters, and then my PayPal account. Because of the "mark as read" and then "delete" filters, I was none the wiser until I checked my bank account for routine banking. I have been able to retrieve some of my money from PayPal and am waiting on the rest. I had https turned on, POP and IMAP turned off, and there is no evidence to show that he was actually in my Google account. My best guess, he got in via the CSRF method. The only thing that was messed with was the addition of filters, and messages deleted due to the filters. My domains were not involved in the attack, although I personally spoke to my hosts / registrars and had them lock all my assets down tight. While a keylogger sounds like a nice theory, these attacks would be way more widespread (As in Not just Gmail) if someone was logging keystrokes. I was hit by this quite recently.

My domains were not involved in the attack, although I personally spoke to my hosts / registrars and had them lock all my assets down tight.

While a keylogger sounds like a nice theory, these attacks would be way more widespread (As in Not just Gmail) if someone was logging keystrokes.

I am a Creative Suite Producer, and these discounts come in very handy when purchasing or renewing a domain. Use Godaddy promo code ZINE3 for $7.49 .com domains and renewals. I save about $35 every time I purchase domains from go daddy. When I buy at least five domains, I also get free private registration when I use ZINE3. For other Godaddy coupons, use ZINE1 for 10% off, ZINE2 for $5 off any $30+ purchase, and ZINE25 for $25 off any purchase of $100 or more, like hosting plans. These promo codes are current, working, and do not expire. Hope these Godaddy coupon codes save as much loot for the other blog subscribers as they have for my co-workers and I.
