Gmail is on Alert Tracking Email Hackers

Google Team is now on alert tracking email hackers. This is a proof that Gmail is doing its job for the safety and security of their registered users.

On October 21, 2012, I received an alert from Gmail team telling me that they detected a suspicious activity on my Gmail account. Some one from Belgium was trying to sign-in to my Gmail address. 

The IP that certain person used was recorded as IP Address:77.73.177.5. I was further asked if I recognized all the said activities. If I answered Yes - the said prevention for IP address used for sign-in attempt will be lifted out but if I answered No - I was further told to reset my password or change it to a new password.

The next day at around 3 AM on October 22, 2012, Gmail team sent me an email again said that the same IP address was used to sign-in to my Google account from the same country. This is really headache. I am in Philippines but this person from Belgium was trying to hack my Gmail account.

Below is a copy of the whole text from gmail team said:

Paul,

Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account. We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

Monday, October 22, 2012 3:48:49 AM GMT
IP Address: 77.73.177.5 (netnoc.eu)
Location: Gent, Belgium

If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. Find out how at http://support.google.com/accounts?p=reset_pw. If this was you, and you want to give this application access to your account, complete the troubleshooting steps listed at http://support.google.com/mail?p=client_login.

Sincerely,

The Google Accounts Team

Google Team further advised me: If you have any doubt that any of the sign-ins were yours: 

• Run a virus scan on your computer. Some hackers install programs on computers to track what you type, and a virus scan will reduce this risk.

• Change your password. Someone likely knows your password and used it to sign in to your account. 

• Update your account recovery options. If someone did sign in to your account, they also might have modified these settings so that they can get new passwords sent to their email address.

Hope this sharing will benefit others. Read also: I Picked Fruit Worth 20$ From Picky Domains

Interesting Article Ideas For Articles Writing Online

Below are article ideas that I found interesting and thought that surfers, crawlers and other spiders would love to crawl down – they are ideas about audio, blogging, browsers, file sharing, hosting, marketing, money making and search engines. If you could write about them - you can anticipate that views and traffic would be flowing down to websites or blog site pages.

 

Let us start on audio as an adjective: they are relating to humanly audible sound, relating to the broadcasting, reproduction, or reception of sound, elating to high-fidelity sound reproduction. From those definitions – anyone can arrive many ideas to write. Audio as a noun like part of television or movie equipment that has to do with sound, broadcasting, reception, or reproduction of sound, audible sound and a sound signal.

Speaking of blogging: people who writes know what is blog and blogging. They write entries in, add material to, or maintain a weblog. In other words any subject topics that a person loves and likes to write to share to the whole virtual world – from his personal experiences down to politics and etc., they are example of blog and blogging.

My first thought about browsers was wrong. I thought it before that browsers and search engines are the same. And when I started looking its meaning from dictionaries – its meaning is to far from search engines. Browsers are people or animal who browse. In computer science – it is a program that accesses and displays files and other data available on the Internet and other networks. Or a computing software package that enables a user to find and read hypertext files, especially on the World Wide Web. If you have these subjects to write ExpertsColumn would be happy to publish them.

How about e-mail? Of course, e-mail was the first well-known and the basic strategy that people who used the Internet for sharing their stuff: photos, videos, articles and etc. to their friends, family and relatives before Internet groups, forums, social networks and other bookmarking sites were created. And until now it is still one of the best sharing tools that most people are using to market their articles and other stuff across the Net. It is a system for sending and receiving messages electronically over a computer network as between personal computers.

How about file sharing? It is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multi-media (audio, video), documents, or electronic books. It may be implemented through a variety of ways. Storage, transmission, and distribution models are common methods of file sharing incorporate manual sharing using removable media, centralized computer file server installations on computer networks. And there are hundreds of ideas for this subject to write.

In file hosting services – if you are running a blog or a website or through emails and forums – you can use them for hosting service. They are a simple alternative to peer-to-peer software. They are considered mediums in which links to direct downloads from file hosting services can be embedded.

How about marketing? Every now and then many people are asking – how to market our products, expertises or contents to get traffic and views across the Internet or to attract our target customers to see and visit what we are selling on the Net? Marketing is the process of performing market research, selling products and/or services to customers and promoting them via advertising to further enhance sales. Writers are considered as businessmen too. Our products are our written columns, videos, audios and etc. If you have good ideas how to marketyour products share them to ExpertsColumn.

On making money – I have only two reasons why I am writing and publishing my columns and other stuff on the Net: one is to share to people across the glove about things that I love and like to write – that might inspires other surfers and other Internet users. Second I am writing and publishing columns because I wanted to make money from them. And there are many ways and strategies to make money online as Internet is a vast place for income. So there are lot of ideas to come out for this category – either making money online or money making offline.

Speaking of search engines – there are lot of them across the net like Google search, Bing, Yahoo, AOL and etc. These search engines are program software that search a database, gathers and reports information that contains or is related to specified terms. It can be a website whose primary function is providing a search engine for gathering and reporting information available on the Internet or a portion of the Internet. Or it is a computing service provided on the Internet enabling users to search for items of interest.

Write, Publish and Get Paid at CashMyStudio

CashMyStudio is a newly launched publishing site accepting your awesome original contents. The site has many features, namely: current studio status, video, blog, photos, your ads section, forum and marketplace and there are more features to come.

When did I find CashMyStudio?

It was on October 15, 2012, I received a short alert from the webmaster of the site – who is also the Admin and the Creator, he asked me if I would become interested to join a new launched site that allows its members to earn money from ads program mainly from Chitika and Google AdSense. His message attracted me to open the link going to CashMyStudio site. It took me at least 30 minutes to browsing down all the features available on that site. That thirty minutes with the site impressed me and I decided to join. 

On the same date, I replied, “I checked out the site and it is cool. When did you create the site? I noticed it that the site has no contents yet. I have read the terms of use including the site policy – you focused on original contents – what do you mean original contents? what I know – (1) original contents are those contents written by a certain author and not copied from any-one’s work (2) original contents are those contents written by a certain author that are already published somewhere else and yet still the author can still publish them on other sites with an assurance that he is really the author. Now what I have observed many publishing sites are accepting contents that are originally written by a certain author even though they are already published somewhere else. I liked that site. I might have the interest to venture with your site.”

On October 16, 2012, I received the creator’s answer said “This site just launched on October 15, 2012. Thus we have no users and content yet. We’re planning to get up there quickly. The site has alot of features. You can advertise across your content with text ads or allow others to advertise across your content and you earn “Studio Credits” and it’s alot more fun than any other writing sites because of the upcoming features and current features. Yes, original content means content that you OWN. We don’t recommend it being published on other sites but you can (SEO reasons). As long as you own the content it’s fine. Thank you, please sign up, spread the word, and tell me what you think!”

On November 3, 2012, I finally joined with CashMyStudio. I uploaded my first three items for blog, photo and video sections. And then I alerted Admin “Dude I already joined your site – in an hour I ably garnered 69 views for my three uploaded items. However, I noticed that forum and market sections are still empty. I am planning to write a short review about the site.”

On November 5, 2012, the Admin replied, “Thank you, the forum and marketplace are on there way. Send me a message when you write the review.”

From its launching date, the site has now almost forty members enjoying now with the site. As of this writing, there are about 69 original blog articles uploaded on the site, seven video so far and 32 awesome photos. My pages have already garnered 283 views. I already earned 160 studio points and 100 studio credits – and I am planning to use them for my stuff advertising.

On this site, members can upload blog article from 350 words and above. The editorial section is awesome. For blog title, it is designed for 80 characters only and for the descriptions or summary at least one to two sentences or 250 characters maximum length. Tags are from 3 to 10 and the up-loader can create his own desired URL links for his entries as the same for video and photo. 

A basic studio member will receive 60% share of views impression but if he upgraded his studio to premium he will enjoy 100% of views impression. Because earnings are from Google AdSense and Chitika, it is assumed that members will receive their earnings through their accounts on Google AdSense and Chitika.

The site is accepting all kinds of writers who have the interest to venture with CashMyStudio. The earnings are from ads program – so for those interested parties you may prepare your Google AdSense Pub-ID and your Chitika Username – they are the two important requirements. The site is equipped with share buttons to market the stuff outside CashMyStudio.
