Was having my regular dosage of mrbrown when i chanced upon this:
Xiaxue's email and blog has been hackedIt evoked a sense of deja vu as yours truely was once a victim of a "
hack job". Although the damage done was minimal, it brought home the importance of beefing up your online security. Besides the advices offered by mrbrown, i would like to share a few more pointers:
1) Never use the same user ID and password for your important accounts and those of less important nature. You might not bat an eyelid about losing your password for the less important account, but the prepetrator is likely to try his newfound information on Hotmail, Blogger etc...
ie: Never use the same user ID and password for Narutofan.com and MSN,Blogger.
2) Never trust a nutcase, be it your good friend or some regular Joe on the street. You never know when a nutcase decides to go bonkers and start a rampage.
