I've just received a double hacker whammy! Yesterday I tried signing into my Yahoo! Email account but my password didn't work! I tried every variation and I even tried their password retrieval service to no avail. I went on to my Yahoo! profile and lo and behold all my info had been wiped a way and someone left a rather naughty cartoon image with the words "HACK" "A" "Z" on the profile page. AHHH!! So I frantically wrote to Yahoo! pleading for my sanity er... my account back.
Still retaining my naivete, I sauntered over to iTunes ready to buy a coveted song for $1, when lo and behold when I went to make the purchase my debit card was declined. Mon dieu! So, this morning I made a few frantic phone calls (do we see a crazed pattern here?) to my local bank and they said that I was on the list Mastercard had of stolen debit card information! ::faint:: Luckily, my local bank jumped right on it and cancelled my card before any of my hard earned cash was swiped. My poor lovely precious debit card, what shall I do without you... (see Financial Dunce Has Epiphany for details of my love affair with my debit card).
This just validates the fact that I really really really need my vacation. Good thing it starts on Friday!

it sucks that people are doing this.

mexico...chicken nachos, yum!
Yeah it does suck. It's sad that people are cruel enough to try to take other's people hard-earned cash. Such a shame.
Ooh Little Mexico. Their nachos are yummo! And so reasonably priced. Unfortunately our local Mexican restaurant is bleh!
Oh no! This happened to a good friend of mine who lives on the cape! Hacked her msn account and left her photo with some very very very ...whew...very naughty comments.
did you get back in?
After much back and forth with Yahoo! I finally got back into my account. And of course AFTER my vacation I got a new debit card. Yahoo!'s an easily hackable place so I've learned my lesson and I'm never buying anything online with that email address.
