My wife and I both received security alerts from Google. If you get one don't click on the link. Open a new browser window and type in the address. Sign into the account and go to security to verify activity. AI has enabled scammers to send out millions of legit looking alerts with links that lead to fake web pages.

If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Both alleged a sign in. If either had clicked the link and signed from the fake page the acct would be compromised.

Found that my two credit cards have been hacked last week. Pain in the azz to call the banks, stop the cards, request new cards, and redo all the auto pays. Seems like everyone i talk to about it has had their cards hacked the same way. One guy had his bank account drained.
Anybody else get hacked?

Seems like every couple of years, either I or my wife’s credit or debit card gets hacked. To the point we have one card we use only for Amazon and it never leaves the house. We now keep a list of what auto debit is tied to each card. Funny thing is they will never tell you what vendor got hacked to kick off problem. They say they don’t know but that’s a crock.
