Well, better late than never I guess. After the Equifax incident, I didn’t get a chance to check to see if I was impacted til today, and I did a check through https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/ and look like I was among got impacted.
So I went ahead and signed up for the credit and identity monitor, it’s free and you will feel better knowing if anything changes from your credit profile or identity such as change in address or new credit card application and so on, you will get notified. I already have another identity protection still running, this will be additional, the more the better I guess.
Are you getting similar email below? it’s a fake myetherwallet website. Notice the spelling of the website myetherwallet vs. myethlerwallet notice the the additional letter “l” *ethler* vs. *ether*, it’s a replica of the real website, so be careful. The hackers now a day are targetting crypto users, so chances are some of us still have cryptos on one of the online wallet website waiting to get hacked. So the best place to store all your cryptos is hardware wallet such as ledger nano s. If you hold more than $100 worth of cryptos at the moment, it’s best to store it on a hardware wallet. The fake website is a phishing website to steal your account to steal your ethereum coins.

Due to the increasing number of phishing attacks on MyEtherWallet website,
we decided to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for all Ethereum wallets.
You must activate the Multi-Factor Authentication through a simple 3-step process.
By doing so you will drastically reduce the incidence of having your funds stolen.
Visit the link below to activate the Multi-Factor Authentication on your Ethereum wallet:

Please be aware that you will not be able to access your Ethereum wallet anymore
on MyEtherWallet without activating the Multi-Factor Authentication.
We are taking this measures to protect both you and our network from phishing and malicious attacks.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Just want to share a tip that have been very helpful to me saving big money when renting a car, car rental. Use hotwire.com and keep on coming back a few times, you will get a hit on a car truck van that you want for a super cheap price, and I mean super cheap.
Over the week end, I rented a 2017 Nissan Titan, big new pickup truck with crew cab for the price of just $33 a day and I declined all the insurance protection and so on, just use my own insurance company and my credit card for collision damage protection and fill up the gas for myself. The total come out to be exactly as that plus small tax.
Now I just have to figure out wait to pay for the toll fees

How to speed up your Chrome Web browser and prevent crashing?
Short answer: Install Adblocker, such as https://getadblock.com/
My computer Chrome web browser has been crashing for months now every time when there’s heavy advertisement ads pop up whether pop up ads or just on the side like yahoo email news, google text adsense and so on, it caused my chrome browser to become unstable and crashed, frozen and sometime even crashed my computer like the blue screen of death.
I knew the Adblock existed for a long time now, but never really got a chance to use it, since I don’t think I really needed and sometime it might prevent certain program on chrome to run, in additional to it block some of the good advertisement that I might need. Well I got tired of seeing ads that frozen my chrome browser and tried Adblock got it installed finally and appears to be working well. I don’t see mai.yahoo.com email showing ads anymore and yahoo mail load really fast now, at least that fixed the biggest problem I have.
