Hi gang!
Today's lesson is about imposters. It's also about over-reaction and conspiracy theories.
We'll deal with imposters first of all because I've been seeing posts all over the place about people who think that some has hacked their account and sent out naughty emails to others. One in question was awesome1985. Some malicious person has created a copycat account by using a lowercase L instead of a one: awesomel985. This is dead easy to do and it looks exactly the same. Uppercase I's can also be substituted. If you think that someone has hacked your account, the first course of action is to do a search for similar-looking names. I think you'll find that someone is playing a mean trick on you.
Your Thoughts.com account and information is SAFE, people. Read my beak: S.A.F.E.
Now, on to creating a conspiracy theory from such things. How 'bout just don't, okay? What if we were to investigate BEFORE we freak out and scare the beejeesus out of everyone on the website? Just sayin'...
