Hey, all....
I love it when I learn from past mistakes.
So, a former teacher/friend had allegedly sent me an email asking me to take a look at a Google Doc. It included the link to the document. I clicked on it, and it took me to a suspicious looking "Google Drive" log in. I say suspicious because it was blatantly obvious that it was a proxy/false page, attempting to masquerade as Google (and not well, I might add). It wanted me to enter my log-in credentials again. Remembering my Twitter blunder that I posted about a month or so ago and smelling a rat, I didn't enter the email address and password and instead called my former teacher and explained to her that her email had been hacked. We caught it early enough, so extensive damage has been minimized.
