FW: My email was compromised.
Hale Sanders
Family Promise core team and supporters,
Please see email note below from our Vice President Eileen Collins. She gives instructions below on what to do if you received an email from her entitled “For your review” with an attachment entitled Aircraft Wealth Management, opened the attachment, and then signed into the Google Document as directed by the bogus email. The sentence in red font below tells you what to do including changing the password of your google doc account, or any of your other accounts with this same password.
I suspect that the vast majority of you didn’t receive this email, or if you did, that you didn’t open it and then sign into Google docs. The good part is that this is not a virus, but is a device to enable someone to track your computer activity (not a good thing).
In addition to changing your passwords, I would also advise you to contact her at eileen...@ogarajets.com.

Subject: My email was compromised…
Hale - can you send this to anyone and everyone in FP that we have corresponded to via email… this is for their protection…following is a FB announcement I posted this morning….. what a nightmare…..
Everyone - If you are not friends with me on FB or part of any of the same FB "groups" to have seen my post earlier this morning, but have received emails from eileen...@ogarajets.com, then please read the following notice/warning that I posted: (by the way - this email is "safe")
I HAVE BEEN HACKED This is for anyone of you who could possibly be on my contact list at OGARAJETS. You may have received an email from my ogarajets email account saying I thought you might be interested in this information pertaining to Aircraft Wealth Management. If you did, I hope you just deleted it. I have been hacked!! If you simply opened the email, you are safe. The email would have asked you to open a link - if you did THAT you are still safe. Once you did that, you would have been asked to sign in to Google Docs with password information. If you did THAT - then you are at risk. This is not a true virus - it is, however, some sort of tracking that is looking for logins and passwords. If you have completely opened everything you will notice there probably is NO Google doc there - if you got to that point - then ANY of your accounts that use that same password can be at risk - CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS IMMEDIATELY on any of those accounts.
You will receive a legitimate email from my account at some point today with the link to explain this better - apparently this is something pretty big that is going around.
All I can say is I am sorry for any issues this may cause for you - this was not a break through our fire wall - this was an email that was sent to me on the VERY subject I was working on here at work on Friday and I opened the documents thinking it was legit...... uuuggghhh..... Happy Monday!! What a way to start the week!
