Hi,

This is Paul Lagasi's daughter. His facebook and hotmail account have been hacked into.

Please disregard any requests for money from the hacker. My parents are in Cuba and having a wonderful time. They are completely safe!!!

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at alisha.lagasi@gmail.com.

Thank you,

The wonderful world of hackers...what would life be without them? Thanks for letting us all know - hope your folks enjoy their vacation. (They may need that extra cash when they get back...)

I'm going to copy this to general discussion also! Thanks for the heads up!

After a lovely vacation in Cuba, Sue and I are back....really lovely weather, good food and well a few rough nights...some of the drinks were pretty good.

After 10 days I was finally able to convince Microsoft that I really was Paul and they helped me to recover my email account (not as easy as it sounds, make sure you remember that all important secret question, I answered mine 11 years ago)....the hacker deleted all my contacts, which I was able to recover...but all those special email's I'd been keeping were gone...sucks.

I was actually interviewed by the CBC.ca and a short clip was edited for TV.

Bottom line is I wil never search or use my Ipod in an area of public domain again (Airport)...I am sure my computer an firewall are protected. It had to be my Ipod....

Also going to change my password more often, and no more facebook....

Thanks for looking in
