Now would be a good time to change pass words on your email accounts ...
It's been quite a while since I have changed my pass words to my email accounts and with all the important information within my email accounts, I did recently change them.
I dropped or quit using my Yahoo email accounts many years ago and flipped over to Gmail around 10 years ago.
I have around 3 major email accounts for my businesses and 2 for personal.
Recently Google notified me with a email that persons with several IP addresses where trying to get into my Gmail account. In the email is did show the actual IP number, type of device being used and also pin pointed the location like a GPS chip.
I don't know about you but on my email accounts connected to my businesses there is some very important information with clients, Doc U Sign information, bids, etc.
So here is what I did ...
I changed my email pass words to very difficult ones like
HappY1937%^&
Now one may ask how will I ever remember these new passwords, write them down and don't put them in your smart phone because you could lose your phone and or it could also be hacked.
Refrain from online banking, there are companies all over the world that have people retrieving information off our computers, smart phones, etc. on the back end.
And if you are going to do any online banking always log out of accounts, log out of all email accounts, delete all history every day along with pass words on your computers and smart phones and please turn (OFF) your laptops or home computers.
Now days people have become so lazy by leaving everything logged in, turned on, etc and this is just a easy way of hackers, etc coming into your business and stealing from you private information.

Important Info & Tips on Cybercrime across the World by Robert Swetz VB
Important Info & Tips on Cybercrime across the World by Robert Swetz VB
CYBERCRIME
What is it? Cybercrime refers to crime conducted online. It includes tax and welfare fraud, credit card fraud, and the non-delivery of purchases. It also includes scams, such as fraudulent investments and online auctions.
How does it effect people? Cybercrime costs the victims-and society as a whole-billions of dollars. Consider an example: Sandra received a email that she assumed was from her bank asking her to update her online banking details. Minutes after sending her personal particulars, she was alarmed to see that $4,000 dollars had been transferred from her account into a foreign bank. Sandra quickly discovered that she had been scammed.
What can you do?
BE WARY: Do not be fooled by professional looking websites, and keep in mind that legitimate financial institutes will not ask you to email highly confidential information. Before buying or investing online, ascertain the company's reputation. "Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers their steps." And be cautious dealing with companies located in foreign lands. If problems arise, it can be harder to resolve them.
ANALYZE A COMPANY AND ITS POLICIES: Ask yourself ... What is the company's physical address? Is the phone number correct? Will my purchase involves hidden costs? When will my order be delivered? Can it be returned or refunded?
BE SUSPICIOUS IF A OFFER LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE: The greedy and those who want something for nothing are prime targets for online thieves. The bait may include big money for minimal work, a loan or credit card even though you may have poor credit rating, or large returns on "low-risk" investments. "Take your time in evaluating the legitimacy of any investment offer," says the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). "The higher the promised returned, the higher the risk,. Don't let a promoter pressure you into committing to an investment before you are certain it's legitimate."
