Having an email or social media account or even a website hacked is as bad as having one’s home broken into. I remember the saying ‘A stitch in time saves nine”. Taking precautions at the beginning is always the better option but if faced with a situation that I shared, it is important to act fast and keep cool. Thanks for visiting the blog, Debra.

Hi Kevin, a warm welcome to The Karmic Ally Coaching Experience Blog. Nobody should have to go through this scenario but if perchance it happens, it helps to have an action plan because time becomes of essence. I enjoyed your post at your blog and found a color that goes well with my color scheme. Off to do more experimentation. 🙂

Thanks for visiting my blog earlier. Good luck on tweaking your color scheme!

It was a heart stopping moment with a ‘What?’ exclamation on my part. 🙂 Thank God for water and grounding exercises. Two sips of coffee and I was off the mark to restore and contain damage. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but when we use the internet, we take the risk and that is where risk mitigation becomes important. Thanks for dropping by, Sally Ann.

You are most welcome, Lisa. Welcome to the Karmic Ally Coaching Experience Blog.

If you cannot remember when you last changed your password, then yes, it is time to do all of them right now. This is one time when the good old Filofax would be Godsend for putting in reminders. Hope I haven’t dated myself with that comment. 🙂

I hope you never need to use these tips either, Rachel, it was worrisome to say the least. 🙂

I must confess that this one time, I had not changed that password for a long time but learning from the email service provider that I should change my secret question regularly was an eye opener. About remembering passwords – I’m a wee bit old fashioned. I maintain a master record on a pen drive which I print out and use as a memory jogger if required. Most of the internet services that I use regularly are not a problem to remember but there are some which I have made too difficult even for me! I also do a maintenance check every now and then and change passwords as required especially on social media and websites. Hope that helps.
