RE: Netflix hack that turned into a surprise
I tell you what, I get excited when I find a $20 bill in the jacket I haven't worn since last fall! I cant even begin to imagine how awesome it would be to find over 3/4 BTC in a "jacket pocket"! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story with us!
Btw, did you figure out how they were able to get into your Netflix account? It seems like you're following the best practices when it comes to passwords. I'm just wondering if you might have some insight that could help us all do it a little better too. Thanks again!

no, but after i found out that many other people in Thailand had their accounts "hacked" around the same time i think it is relatively unlikely that they hacked just me. When i searched on the interwebs about this i found that there were thousands more that were hacked on the same day, many in the same hour. I just hope that our credit card information wasn't taken as well. I would like to think they protect that a little better.
I would say use two-factor authorization whenever it is possible and don't forget to write down the really long code they give you at the time that you sign up for the 2FA because if you lose your phone you have now locked yourself out as well. Also, I find LastPass to be a wonderful program.
Because I am extra paranoid and almost all of my money is stored digitally, i have a separate laptop running Linux Mint and I only access my financial stuff with this computer and never use it for anything else. I know this is over the top but old laptops that you are only going to use for this purpose are not that expensive.
