I'm afraid to do anything online anymore, especially banking or purchasing. Internet spies are everywhere
I'm willing to bet the government even has spies to watch us on here

And I am willing to bet that most of the "Warning Emails" are just a scam, done to cause panic and mayhem on the www, it is a tiny minority of email addresses that get cracked, and then usually those with very weak passwords.
How is it that I have two email address's dating back to the very first available by yahoo and by msn and have never had them hacked? Maybe they have been watched by certain countries
, but never tampered with or had the passwords changed.If you use sensible passwords and keep away from dubious websites, then the internet is as safe as going to a cash machine in your local high street, if not more so.
IMO

I have a feeling they're scam emails created by someone to resemble an offical mailing cause it can be done.

It’s not our personal e-mail accounts that have been hacked but hackers got into the bank of e-mail addresses held by certain companies and now have our e-mail address to which spam can be sent or hackers could try to get more personal information from us and subsequently get our passwords if we aren’t careful.
