Drat, my AOL account was hacked. Just delete note about Dropbox

Monday morning, hundreds of people in my email address book got the note below. My AOL account had been hacked. I immediately called AOL to reset my password. It’s a common nuisance. I’ve seen this particular come-on before (read all about it) when others have been hacked. But rest assured — it wasn’t from me! All is well now — except for the dozens of replies I have to make to people asking me about the note. Oh well.

This note is circulating around the Web from other email addresses as well. Just delete.

    The one upside: I’m hearing from many people who haven’t emailed me for years! Good to see they still care!

    Nice to hear from you Ken, even if I actually did not. I received a political article, most unlike the real TrackCEO.

    Gutsy of you to own up to this, Ken. I recognized it for what it was, but didn’t bother to complain back to you. Because, I have dinged 10 (or so) others whose email contacts were hacked, and not single one of them replied (i.e. they all went and hid under a rock).
