Today I'll talk about PC optimum points accounts that have been compromised and for the rest of the video I'll take it to my laptop screen and we'll take it from there. Hello everyone, just received this email from PCoptimum and according to the email it looks like the account was hacked. So the reason I know this is not a scam or spam email because you have to look at the email address. So here it's email at PCoptimum.ca. So this email looks like a valid email and this is not someone else who's trying to spam. So let's take a look at the email. So what they're saying that they have seen or noticed some unusual activities on the account and as a security measure they have reset my password. So what that means that you know the password I have been using is no longer valid and the next time I want to log into my account I'm going to have to create a new password. So that's another evidence or that's another step making sure that you know this is not a scam email because if it's a scam email then usually they give you a link and you have to click on that link. But if you receive this type of email do not click on the email rather go to the website directly on a separate browser or separate tab and then log on to your site from there. So then they're saying that the information which have been compromised or which have been hacked they believe are name, address, phone number and points balance. So it's not anything else and that's what it sounds like. So for example it's not any security questions we have set up on PC optimum account or any bank information or any other information. So it's just a name, address, phone number and points balance. But these information even it's enough to for someone to you know give you a call or send another email and try to spam or hack your account. So be careful about that and then here it says that during your next login at any of our participating websites please create a new and strong password. So this is what I was just telling you that you know do not click on any link on any email even if the email looks legit and you know valid. Always go to a separate browser or separate you know tab and log on to that site from there. So based on the email I received so it looks like there was you know some of the accounts have been hacked or have been compromised. But you know it's just information they were able to access this name, address and phone number and points balance. So you didn't they didn't have access to any other sensitive information which is a good thing. The bad thing is that you know this shouldn't have happened. Hopefully a PC will be more careful about our information and if you receive this email from PC Optima then change your password immediately. And even if you haven't received an email from PC Optima because I'm not sure they're going to send email to everyone. I have talked to a few people and not everyone received this email. Only a few people received an email. But let's say even if you haven't received anything just to be on the safe side go to your PC Optima account and change the password. You know so just in case PC didn't send email to everyone but everyone's accounts were hacked. So you have to keep safe and in order to do that just you know change your password anyway whether you received any email or not. So that was all for now.
