Hacking

No poem today. Last Friday I was “Hacked” while on my computer, and was dumb enough to fall for it. I’ve been paying ever since, and, just today got my computer back after having it cleaned and scanned and whatever they do. It will take me a long time to not feel stupid, especially with all the re-doing and organizing that needs to be done on my computer. I am so thankful to family members who stepped in and helped out and have me up and running again. We ought to have a ‘hacked anonymous’ support group where you go to have people tell you that you are an ok person! My spirits were lifted when a friend, after hearing my tragedy, said that he had heard that the smarter you are, the more likely that you will be hacked! Ha, I’d like to believe that! But it did make me feel good. Be careful out there. Don’t CALL microsoft to fix a computer problem when your computer freezes due to a pop-up…

  1. You are not stupid. It can happen to anyone. I’m sorry it happened to you and I’m glad it worked out okay. Don’t be so hard on yourself <3 ! They have practiced practiced to successfully scam people. If they knew how they stressed out and depressed such a sweet and wonderful lady I bet they'd cry themselves to sleep. Unfortunately they probably try to not think about it too much. So, I wish I could get a hold of a big bass and pop 'em right in the kisser.
