Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know (if you didn't already) that my email address was hacked yesterday. After much effort, I was able to get back in and restore it, but please ignore the email that you may have received about my being in London and needing an urgent wire transfer. This is a common email scam.

In addition, I was advised by 3 different tech-savvy individuals that I should suggest to my contacts that you change your own email passwords, just to be safe. This type of a hacker may have identified me through one of my contacts, and they did delete my contacts from my account (which I was later able to restore from a separate file). Therefore, there is a chance that they may be looking to identify their next target from my contact list. It is recommended that passwords contain letters, numbers, and symbols if possible - I did not have this formula in my password which may have made my account more vulnerable.

My apologies for any confusion caused by the hacker. Luckily, I have been able to restore my account thanks to google's help, so please feel free to continue to send email here, and please be vigilant with your own accounts in the next few weeks, just in case!

Best Regards,

Jessica Reynolds (the real one!)
