After being hacked and down for 3 days, the newspaper "Expresso volta a ser feito e desenhado à mão. Como no primeiro dia." by Expresso in LinkedIn.
"The person figured here is not an autonomous, rational actor but an unfolding, shifting biography of culturally and materially specific experiences, relations, and possibilities inflected by each next encounter (...) in uniquely particular ways." (Lucy Suchman, Human-machine reconfigurations: plans and situated actions, 2009, 281)

November
I have been hacked. Still trying to figure out the extension and number of hacked accounts.
I have changed my passwords a couple of times, but still things are happening. I lost access to my previous blogs (namely B2OB, Blogtese), and the capacity to change settings in other accounts that where connected to an email account that I stopped using almost 10 years ago. That account was compromised and someone as been subscribing things with my personal data through that account. Other accounts that I created a long time ago, connected to that email, are also compromised, like flickr where I tried to change my email and it sends me to an error page. If you receive anything you consider unusual through my channels, it might be because it's not me. Hope you know me well enough to figure it out.
The hacking was gradual and it might take some time to get to now the extension of it all. Because we have everything so connected to our emails and phone that it becomes unpredictable and easy to exploit by people whose aim is to do harm.
And yes, I use anti-virus and I do not click is ads and I even stop reading journals, news and other informative site (like public national TV online!) because they make me loose the right to my privacy and install an «army» of data collection cookies on my artefacts.
So, if you know me, you know how to contact me if you want to.

Cyber criminals
"Attackers will often use a tool called a ‘web inject’ to monitor the internet browsing of an infected user. When the victim attempts to access their normal internet banking platform, the malware will
serve up a fake web page that looks exactly like their real online banking web page. It will steal
the victim’s login details and password, and trick the user into entering their token authentication,
or SMS authentication, so that the attacker can quickly replicate the process on the genuine web
page in order to get access to (and steal from) the account." in Cyber crime: understanding the online business model, by Matt Carey
