    1. Re: [STATE-COORD] How to Tell

    3. Does it only get the passwords that are stored on your computer or can it find any that you have used. The only passwords I have stored on this one are the ones for my admin passwords for my mail list. But I did go to my bank accounts earlier this week but they are not stored on the computer so are they safe or should I change them?

Scroll to the bottom of the code. If you see: <script function - followed by some gibberish letters the page has been hacked. However, please note - we have found some subpages that have been hacked also, so please continue to monitor your webpages. My recommendation is for everyone to stop all FTP'ing and change your email passwords to brand new secure passwords. Do NOT use your mother's maiden name, your birth date, your social security number, your children's names or your dog's. Include letters - both upper and lower case - and numbers. If you need help designing a password that is still memorable while still being more secure, contact me privately. And if anyone got the message to "Update Adobe" and clicked on it, please immediately scan your computer and once you are sure it is clean, change your passwords. Lastly, take this time to take a break. Visit a cemetery, transcribe some records, or even just turn around and visit with your family. They may be surprised to know what your face looks like!! (Yes, my kids took a picture of the back of my head one time and labelled it "Mom." Aren't they funny???)
