gmail hacked

[postmortemIA]

I did not know you could permanently delete email from a Gmail account. I thought I tried this before and it didn't work. I even d/l into a standalone client with the option to delete from server and it didn't work.

move item to trash --> select and delete
same thing with "standalone client", aka outlook, move item to trash, delete it there, click on "purge items from trash"

gmail wasn't hacked you fucking moron.

You used a stupid password, or you did something moronic online and gave your password to them.

Change your fucking title to something more accurate like "I'm a fucking moron and my gmail account got screwed up."

Internetz iz seriros buisnusz. Someone needs to take the keyboard away from this freak for a few days. Calm down man things are going to be O.K.

I don't tend to use really secure passwords. I have 3 passwords that I use in increasing level of security and the first 2 are just variations on the same thing. I've never had any issues but then I don't give out my passwords at any time anywhere or use them in any other way. I also don't sign up to anything stupid using my main Gmail account, all that shit goes to a junk mail account. Still if I wanted to I could use some fairly secure passwords if I bothered too. There are numerous rules one can follow for creating strong passwords unique to each site that aren't hard to remember. Here is one that I've seen

Take the web site addy and switch the first and last letters.

So microsoft.com becomes ticrosofm

Now add a number to the front of it and some symbols to the back, these are the same for every password:

So for example you might get: 2ticrosofm%#!

Another site with the same rule above might be: 2hogitecl%#! for logitech.com

There are other mnemonics like this you could use.
