I was mid email when I heard the ding, a new email had
arrived. It could wait until after
I finished composing the email currently in front of me, however modern day ADD
was over-whelming. There was
something new and shiny waiting for me, what could it be. Save as draft,
inbox. A message from the friendly
people at Google, “It appears someone has attempted to access your account from
Denmark. We have blocked the
attempt, please click the link to change your password.” Wait a second, isn’t that how hackers
get your password? By sending you an official-looking email saying you need to
change your password for security purposes and then when you type in your
current password…Bam! They got you. Back to the draft, finish, send. Now back to this password issue, wait
my cell phone is now saying it can’t access my email, password is
incorrect. Quickly log out of
Gmail and try to log back in, immediate prompt to change password, no
choice. I do it, still thinking it
might be a trap. I have no way of
knowing who’s real and who’s not, because none of them are real. They’re all just anonymous email addresses,
digital files. When I walk into my
bank and an employee tells me something, I believe it, when Chase.com tells me
something, I am always curious if it’s really them…what if a one became a zero?
