Danger: Another Terrace email hack


If you received an email today purporting to be from Tom Savchik, please ignore it. 

Tom and Peggy just confirmed for me that Tom's email account has been hacked. He did not send out a note about having an accident or a followup note about having surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He is fine, he is at home, but he is mystified. 

This is the third time in about a month that a Terrace resident's account has been hacked. That raises the suspicion that someone has gained unauthorized access to Terrace residents' contact information through one means or another. 

To that end, please be very careful if you receive an email from anyone on the Terrace. If you do open such a message, be sure the content isn't about some vague and unusual situation. Best bet: If you suspect any such message, call the supposed sender to ascertain if it is a legitimate message. 

Stay safe!
