Expat Explorers Hacked!

  Laura Alexander of Expats in Panama / Expat Explorers group has had her online accounts hacked, “My websites, facebook, paypal account, and emails have been completely hacked and taken out of my control. I have contacted the company authorities and webhosting services, however am having a hard time proving I am who I say I am because whomever hacked in has all of the information one would need to say the same thing. I may have to go to higher authorities, but the hosting services have stated that, so far, nothing seems to have been done at this time; yet it is obvious they wanted control for some reason”.Laura fell in love with Panama in 2002 and organized trips and events for English speaking newcomers to Panama. Her organization work has always been unpaid, from the heart and often completely voluntary. Her events ran like well oiled machines. She sent out a popular monthly events newsletter through the Expat Explorers yahoo group. Over the last year, Laura has been planning her retirement and moved her focus to her family. As such she has not logged in to the yahoo group for sometime. She didn’t realize the seriousness of this matter until she found herself “locked completely out of all of the @expatsinpanama.com@expatexplorer.com emails, etc.”

“This means that Expat Explorers and Expats In Panama will be shut down for at least a year, and even then not re-open until I have some assurance that there isn't any further danger.”

“I am concerned and confused as to how long they had access to my emails prior to shutting me out,so please also  disregard ANY email they may have received from any address @expatexplorers.com OR @expatsinpanama.com for at least the last 5 months, but especially if it was supposedly signed by me and/or made any arrangements to have money sent!!!”
