Warning re middle eastern hackers

Submitted by yasemin (Canada), Dec 7, 2008 at 15:40

I want to let women know that the middle east ( with my husband's country in particular ) is tied into the nasty business of computer hacking and spam. My husband had threatened to hack into my email at one point and sure enough, soon afterwards I was locked out of my email account and the secret question had been changed. I did a search and found his user names appearing on many hacking websites. It's big business over there.

Therefore, no matter how seriously involved you get with one of these men, NEVER store personal information such as your address on your email if your middle eastern man knows the email address. Because the mafia is involved in a lot of this sort of thing and has ties everywhere, you may one day find yourself looking over your shoulder even if you are back in your own country. Now that the judge has decided the divorce case in my favor ( which means my husband can't marry his illegal wife for a few more years ), he is making threats i'm told and so i worry.... even back home in my "safe" country.

My big mistake was always underestimating my husband's threats to do damage. They have no morals and thus will do anything.
