Saw this in today's issue of TidBits (an excellent free weekly newsletter primarily for Mac/ios device users). The story is a good read and the suggestions (skip to page 4 if you want to get right to the actions) are very pragmatic. One of the best articles on this subject I've seen.
**What It’s Like to Experience Email Account Hijacking** -- In the
November issue of The Atlantic, James Fallows shares the story of
how his wife’s Gmail account was hijacked and what they went
through to recover years of stored messages. It’s a compelling
tale that will hopefully bring home the need for secure passwords
and offline backups of cloud-based data.
