What a weekend! From the start of thursday morning I was inundated with calls and smses from friends abroad and within Brunei that they had recieved a weird e-mail from my hotmail account! Then a kind friend told me that sadly my e-mail account was probably hacked into. Once I could get hold of a computer I checked and tried to open my account and lo and behold I couldn't. The hackers had changed my password and even changed my reminder question! At an instant I felt lost and so down because all the contacts I had in that account had disappeared and whatsmore they all had been duped into thinking that I was lost and stranded in Malaysia with no money and awaiting for their kind donations!!! Some friends actually thought I really was stranded and immediately called me to reconfirm I was ok..others were cautious in asking what was going on!! As if I would stoop so low so as to ask for donations via e-mail!!! Hello!!!
Anyway I have now set up another e-mail with g mail and this time I have be very vigilant with giving out personal info etc!! But I couldn't wallow in self pity too long there were a couple of orders for pavlovas and mini cupcakes to do. I would upload the photos but my naughty daughter has kidnapped my camera's battery. I am over all the self pity and feeling of annoyance and helplessness after all it was only an e-mail address adn ALL my contacts!!
