[quote=Anonymous]My Dad's email got hacked and bunch of people on his address list got one of those emails saying that he's trapped in some 3rd world country so please send me money, etc. One of our gullible relatives replied to his email to figure out where to send money, and the hacker replied with a copy of my dad's passport, probably to make it look more convincing. It turns out that my dad had a attached scanned copy of his passport and the hacker found it. My dad is currently out of the country and is not so computer literate, so I can't sit next to him in front of the computer to get his email straightened out for at least a week. What action should I take? What is the danger of someone else getting a hold on one's passport info? My dad says he has no credit card or bank account linked to his email but I can't really tell unless I go through his email and see what's there myself. Thank you![/quote]
