I'm kind of putting two and two together this morning,
as when I woke up today and checked my gmail,
I found that my entire Amazon acct. had been, i'm loathe call it this, but it had been "Hacked".
here are the emails:
Brendan H O'Connell, |

and then this:

So,
Thank god I didn't have any of my current credit cards listed, as I had recently lost my bank card and had a new one shipped, so I'm praying there is no way for the hacker to rip off my money, which clearly was the attempt of this phishing scam.
I'd complain,
but it seems to me with everything going on in the news (hacks on hospitals, hacks on businesses' Christmas sales websites, etc.),
that we may as Americans be experiencing a complete CODE RED HACKER ATTACK...
I think this is fairly obvious,
as we see the increase in hacking detrimentally effecting the USA more and more,
but I, honestly, knew something like this would happen... I just pray,
pray Lord Jesus,
that it doesn't turn out to get even worse for our Christmas celebration,
which to me considering the Wars going on,
I think it likely.
here's some half remembered headlines on recent hacking attacks on America.
Last week,
we heard about hospitals' infrastructure being attacked by hackers,
I heard stories that Amazon denied allegations that they were having about customers being hacked YESTERDAY,
and today, the same day I found out my 15 year old Amazon account was "hacked" (or phished),
We find out the internet sales sites of three major companies (Vans, North Face, and others) were hacked,
severely...
this leads me to proclaim,
WE HAVE A CODE RED TERROR ALERT
for internet hacking attacks.
Can say I didn't warn ya'll,
fair readers.
I AM PISSED.
