I guess I’ve always known it was a possibility… I just never thought it would happen to me. I went to my Google Adwords account two days ago to find that my balance was 12 times as big as what it should be. I was confused, shocked, angry, and wanting some answers.

Google’s team was prompt in responding and quickly found that someone had hacked into my account. They are going to make sure I am not charged for the fees that were incurred. I am grateful in the way they are handling the situation.

BUT, it scares me to think that someone was able to get into my google account. Does that mean they had access to my email, too? What else did they take from me or learn about me? I am in the process of changing all my passwords. I encourage all of you who haven’t changed your passwords in a while, like myself, that you do it immediately. You never know when something like this could actually happen to you.
