Had lunch with one of our JP’s in Brazoria County, Texas. When I got home noticed I had an email from him saying he was in Italy, had wallet stolen, etc. Gave him a hard time about it because he had no money and I loaned him money for lunch today. Told him I’d already contributed so no more money for them. Until I called his office they were not even aware that their email had been hacked. Addresses of lots of important folks in that email list!
Have also noticed a huge uptick in robo calls both to the office and cell phone from the same calling number. Interesting because office number is 281 and cell is 713. Not sure what the AG in Texas can do about it but would like to think that there is something we can do on a state level about the bogus DNC list.
Because almost all phone calls are routed through Internet switches a good hacker can make a phone call appear to be coming from anywhere: Texas, Washington DC, Tokyo... All while calling from Pakistan.
