Re: I got hacked --> Gmail fix

I just got a very helpful suggestion.  There is a way to make sure that every session of Gmail is secure.  Make sure you use https instead of http at the start of the web address.  You can change a setting in Gmail so that it defaults to this.

 

Hope that helps someone else.  It helped me.

Sorry about this email.  My email account was hacked by a guy in China.  I have since changed my password and other settings that should help prevent this.

 

DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IN THIS EMAIL.  I haven't tried, but since it is from a source I don't trust, I wasn't going to risk it.

 

If anyone has any specific instructions on how to prevent this in the future, other than changing my password, please let me know.

 

Thanks for your understanding.
