I realized the other night that the Internet is one hell of a scary world, when my Sponsored Reviews account was hacked.

Joanna,

The email address we sent out your PayPal payment to is: noval_te@yahoo.com

Sponsored Reviews have always been prompt on payments. I’ve been with them for over a year now and I don’t normally check my account’s payment details page of the programs im involved with.. except when checking when the next payment date would be.

But that experience.. really freaked the shit out of me!

Some hacker changed my paypal email address to noval_te@yahoo.com in time for the payout.. and prolly changed it back again after the payment was already sent to her account.

I don’t know if my account was the only one successfully hacked, coz Sasha’s friend also had a similar case. Her friend’s (Ate Thess) SR account was hacked too, but luckily.. she found out 1 day before payout. that her paypal account was changed.

.

Anyhoo.. SR sent me the payment already, and they’re still tracking down who the hell that fukcin hacker is and how he possibly got into the system.

The only clue we have so far, is that.. he’s from the Philippines.

Kababayan ko pa.

Tsk..

Hackers are everywhere. And the only best way for us, internet users to avoid having our accounts hacked is to be careful and always alert about our security.

• Use strong passwords on your accounts. Not only on SR, but on all programs you’re with, and on all accounts you have.
• Check your account and payment details from time to time.
• When using public computers, make sure that you are completely logged out. - Delete the browser’s cookies/private data.
• You should Install add-ons like Google Toolbar, or Netcraft Anti-Phishing Toolbar as these help identify phishing websites and prevent your computer from being hacked.

PS:

btw, Sasha Dear, i don’t know what the fukc is wrong with Xoom’s intra-phil transfer.. grabe napaka inconsistent ng statements nila! Kahayblad!

Try ko ulit this week..

Like what Ate Glecy said..

If there ’s anybody who truly cares for her babies, yun yung taong nagpakahirap at nagexert ng effort at oras.. at hindi yung mga nagcacare care-an lang

I chose to keep mum and silent with the issue for weeks, because i had to secure the websites.. for the sake of others who got affected with other people’s hunger for money.

Anyhoo, Cherry (Rosenyl Dominguito Alano) , the person whom i thought was a friend over the years, whom i’ve given 2 jobs to be exact.. ( Fred’s, ChatHost) not including the other opportunities like this bloggin shit, filed an Estafa case against me and Yhang, for reasons only she knows.

We don’t even know how much she’s claiming we owe her! Tsk..

I think she’s raging mad because of that effing blog site, which i only deleted in reaction to all her “panunumbat, insulto and pangngwenta”! and not because of that pc table.. (god.. hindi lahat ng tao kasing babaw mo che!)

Hello?? who on their right minds would think that i purposely deleted that site for no reasons at all??!! (You know the truth, you bitch!)
