The development of science and technology has brought many conveniences to mankind. Modern people have been unconsciously captured by computers and the Internet world; it is almost impossible for them to stay in front of computers for a day. Those who do not use computers have long been regarded as blind people and are laggards. The content of this article can be said to be irrelevant.

In this world, everything has both positive and negative sides, pros and cons coexist at the same time; in a virtual network, there are traps everywhere. What we often hear is that computers have been hacked and all saved data has been lost. It is inevitable to re-enter, which is time-consuming and error-prone; but unfortunately, once some data is lost, it can no longer be found.

I have been using computers to create for more than ten years. In order to prevent viruses or unknown hackers from intruding, my email address is blocked so that strangers cannot send emails. At the same time, I generally won’t open the attachments if they are forwarded and shared by relatives and friends, unless they are particularly attractive or useful information. Many viruses are often hidden in attachments and you will be fooled as soon as you open them.

Because I am careful and particularly vigilant about the "attachments" of incoming letters, I am very lucky that I have not been damaged by any viruses since I started using the computer. The "World Chinese Writers Exchange Association" was founded last year. In order to operate, the only way is to open a new email address on Google. Especially when it comes to recruiting members and communicating with literary friends from all over the world, naturally we can't use a blocked method like my personal email.

There is no blocked email address, which is equivalent to an open door. Anyone can send any electronic graphics, text, and advertising information. It takes a lot of time to open the email every day and just clean up this pile of unnecessary emails. The email address of "Shihua Exchange Meeting" is wongxinshui@gmail.com. It has been open for seven months. Unexpectedly, something happened after returning home from a trip last week.

Writers and literary friends from all over the world have sent me emails asking me if I have returned home? The poet Fang Langzhou first informed me that he received my letter asking for help with an English name? Well-known New Zealand writer Lin Shuang called me, and the editor-in-chief of Hyosung Indonesia forwarded the original letter to me for reference; Brother Qiu Qiao sent me a warning letter, and Chairman Wu Songda of the Hongmen Democratic Party called to say hello, knowing that I was not trapped in Greece as stated in the letter asking for help. I finally understood that the English letter was a letter of blackmail.

It turns out that my email address and password used for communication of the "Shihua Writers Exchange Conference" were stolen by criminals in Greece. I used my reputation to send a distress letter in English to nearly a hundred writers, literary friends, relatives and friends in the email address archive, saying that I had lost my wallet ID in Greece and requested an emergency remittance of 1,500 euros from the Greek bank account provided. The bank account actually has my English name?

>Concern leads to chaos, that is human nature; if any close relatives and friends misunderstood without checking and sent money to Greece to help me in "urgent needs", wouldn't that be what the unscrupulous thieves wanted? Since this type of online fraud often occurs, in order to alert everyone, in addition to being careful, no matter when or who receives an electronic letter asking for help, you must first check with the person involved, or call or send a message to Yi Miao. Do not mislead and be deceived.

Although no one was deceived and sent money to Greece to "save me from the fire", the email address was scrapped and a new one was opened as soon as possible. It was really hard to re-enter the data of so many writers, which kept me in front of the screen for two whole days.

Fortunately, I never store personal documents, bank data, passwords, etc. online. Otherwise, once the email password is stolen, all personal information will be stolen, causing great trouble and losses. Readers, please do not enter all your personal data into a landline computer or portable calculator with Internet access just for the sake of convenience. Can be stored on a landline or "iron finger" at home that does not have access to the website. Of course, if there is an "Iron Finger", you can't lose the little "Iron Finger".

For the sake of protection and security, the password used to open an email address must be changed at least every three months; the more keys you enter and use in the password, the harder it is to crack. Of course, for hackers, there is no password that cannot be cracked (such as Wikipedia, even the most secret computers of China's Zhongnanhai, the United States CIA, Swiss Bank and other countries have been cracked one by one.); increasing the difficulty will only make the thieves retreat.

>Technology has improved human social life, but it also has many negative effects; everything always has pros and cons. In addition to being careful, we can't stop eating because of choking. After my email address was stolen this time, I would like to express my special gratitude to literary friends from all over the world for their friendly letters and calls of concern. We sincerely apologize for the trouble and inconvenience caused to everyone.
