Aaack! I have been hacked

Aaack! I have been hacked. My account at AOL has been compromised and shut down until I get my computer blessed by the powers that be. It is a crazy place on AOL. On the Web I never really worried about things - I have a router with a firewall and have set up the correct settings on my PC to make sure people can't get in. But working for AOL, you get all kinds of wacky email - some of which looks exactly like our internal areas. All it takes is a click on a link and boom - you are booted and someone else has your account. I liked to think of myself as a saavy net person, but this is definitely humbling. I am 3 weeks new (again) on AOL and I feel kind of stupid.

Live and learn.
