Yeah Right.

So First thing this morning get a call from my dad... His email has been HACKED!!! Sure enough get to work and login, there is the please help I need money email staring back at me

.

I pulled the originating IP from the Header of the email and low and behold it came from Nigeria.

Since this is his primary email for his DSL account I guess the next step is to call AT&T and have them kill the email address so he can create a new one. Also gonna get him to create a gmail or something too so he's not using the AT&T one anymore.

Any thoughts on what else to do? Have a Nice Day
