[SCCC] N6NC Hijacked email

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Theoretically, one could use a VPN to secure internet traffic over an 
unsecured wi-fi. Most medium to large businesses use this technique to allow 
their employees to access the company LAN from home or while traveling. 
While they typically use enterprise level VPNs, the rest of us are liable to 
use free or more economical VPNs for our private use. One list of free VPNs 
can be found here:

Sorry everyone. My hlserra at sbcglobalnet email was hijacked for a second time 
in six weeks while I was on travel, this time from using a hotel's 
non-secure wi-fi. This hijacker not only stole and changed my password for 
the account, he also changed my security questions and answers so I could 
not immediately log in and change my password-- ery sneaky. Try to avoid 
using these hotels' non-secure wi-fis if you can. Apologies for any trash 
phishing emails.

After ATT froze the account, and after I spent 3 hours on the phone with ATT 
tech reps, we believe the situation is fixed.

73, Larry N6NC
