Someone deleted all my e-mails

[Rhoni]

Yesterday I went on AOL to check my messages and they were all deleted. I changed my password on all my accounts because I know a hacker could pretty much figure out my passwords. Nothing is safe anymore is it?

*sigh*

It probably wasn't a hacker. It was probably an AOL glitch. I used AOL when I first got online. Emails disappeared on a regular basis. I have been told by several computer experts that AOL works like a virus in a computer-- and that's the GOOD thing they had to say about AOL. I haven't used AOL is about 8 years now. :D

tip for passwords- use a random series of letters & numbers. Not your initials and birthdate though. :)

I know. MY BIL hates AOL because it attaches itself to every computer and program in your system. This is the first time in 10 years that I have had my whole e-mail account drained. Wacky isn't it?:evilglee

We have good admin here and they are pretty sharp about such things. I think they take good care of us here.:friend

Sorry to hear this sister, I don't use AOL as my primary email anymore, I use Yahoo. I don't use AOL as my internet provider anymore either.

[MissBrattified]

AOL still exists? :blink

I agree about AOL- I got rid of it several years ago, it was the devil getting rid of. It is too expensive for what you get.

The college I worked for required our passwords to have at least one Capital letter , numbers and letters of your choice in any ramdom order and must be changed every 6 months.

I still use AOL. I have my DSL service thru Sprint, but work thru AOL just because it's the email I've used since day #1. I don't have any problems with it at all. I don't have to pay to use it because my internet access doesn't come thru them.

That's frustrating. I save the mail I want to my computer.

mine is AOL too...
I think when hackers want to get in they have a way...

I was thinking of taking a course in Hacking....

I weaned myself off AOL a decade ago.

I weaned myself off AOL a decade ago.

My theory is "if it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix it".

Some day if it ever breaks, I'll dump it. But till then, I'll use it.
