How deep does information mining go?

Basically I am a nobody, a civilian, no government ties, no technology ties, just an average guy, so why would someone in Vietnam be trying to hack my email account? A personal email at that. This is ridiculous.

you are not singled out and targeted specifically.

you are just a single prey in a huge herd of prey. and perhaps easy prey just because you think of yourself as are average.

@Tracos I don't feel as if I am singled out so much, it is more like feeling like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. When they need to hack a fat old bald guys account to see what I have been doing.

@Roadsterrider its called the long tail... a steady stream of lots of small fishes make for a massive catch... all it takes is a credit card number of social security number or anything personal

@Tracos That's what my asshole hackers are waiting for, a social security number and credit card info that they will NEVER get! They change my settings to "allow payment" in Google but I change it back. They would get mad and call my house!🤣 They don't talk anymore...I just let the phone ring...☎️
