If you use a pass word to log in it is possible
for a hacker to get in your computer and change that password
so you will not be able to log in the next time you turn it on.
Of course this is among a variety of other nasty tricks they can do.

They can determine your password by trial and error if you
leave your computer on-line for a long time.

The hacking trick is try 3 times and go away for 15 minutes or
so and then come back and increment again for the next three
trials until he finds the right combination.  The hacker can have a whole list computers he is working on at the same time (more or less).
One can check a lot of different computers in 15 minutes.

Of course this is done with a special program. There may be an easier way I don't know about.

A rogue political person working for the NSA or the NSA themselves could search for anti Obama messages and disable any computers owned by
anti Obama people. The NSA reads and stores all email messages going to over seas for sure and maybe all email messages. I have proof that they read all these news letter massages. The IRS does it, why not NSA?


It is simple to search for anti Obama key words in an email.


A good 8 or 10 character password with upper and lower case letters helps. It takes 35 to the ten power for all possible
combinations. A piece of cake for a fast computer.

Go off line while you don't need to be on line.

Paranoia is another name for a heightened state of awareness :)
