increasing online criminal presence. he works out of the san francisco fbi was a. he saw it happen back when the pandemic lockdown began. >> they know that people are online more now looking for shopping and so they will look to insert themselves on those vulnerabilities and have looked to commit fraud and make a profit. >> so, can you protect yourself? yes. if you do this one thing. don't reuse passwords. >> i know it's so easy and tempting to reuse them. the problem is if we get another hack like we've seen at target or home depot or marriott or places like that, you may not care that much about your log in info for any of those sites but if that's the same one that you're using for your bank account, let's say, then that becomes a bigger problem. >> ted is with bankrate.com. he has a lot of good advice. if you're an overachiever, you can also use a password manager.

check your credit report frequently, freeze your credit report, read your financial statements. >> almost all of us are taking risks data. i say this not to scare people but we can do better. if you do big stuff well, it covers up smaller sins. >> ted there totally nails it. few of us do everything. so we end up doing nothing. we're just so overwhelmed. ama, don't do it. do a couple of easy things. read your statements, don't reuse passwords. >> that's such a hard one but great advice. great advice. thanks, michael. all right. the city of danville is getting ready for the holidays. this morning crews installed holiday lights on the old oak tree downtown. they have to shut down one lane of traffic on diablo road to do it safely, crews will be working

on the lights tomorrow. it makes it nice and festive and get rain, again, i'll say, dan, pull out the hot chocolate with the marshmallows. >> those little marshmallows, those are the best. spencer is here with the forecast. >> well, it's hot chocolate time, that's for sure. we have rain on the way. let's look at the overnight conditions just before the rain arrives. we can expect low temperatures under increasingly cloudy skies. mainly in the mid 40s around the bay shoreline but upper 30s in some of our chillier inland valleys and then tomorrow, with the rain arriving, we'll have of course cloudy conditions wherever it's not raining and wet where it is and i'm telling you the obvious, right? high temperatures will range from upper 50s only 50s in the north bay to 60 or 62 degrees, that's a pretty narrow range around the bay shoreline and inland we'll see only low 60s. the approaching storm ranks one on the abc 7 storm impact scale to produce light to moderate rainfall but periods of brief

downpours. it will be a wet evening commute tomorrow and wind will be breezy to gusty. here is the forecast animation. we expect at least some light rain to be pushing through the north bay. then by mid afternoon, look for a steadier rain and more wide spread rain hitting other areas into the evening, rain reaching all parts of the bay area. it will be a wet evening commute. here is the seven-day forecast. if you don't like the rain, look forward to sunny skies and a warming trend that will begin on sunday and continue into the middle of next week before the arrival of the next bout of rainfall. dan and ama. >> here comes the pattern. thanks very much. all right. let's get to sports. we have golf to talk about. larry is here. >> a big one, major. when tiger woods is in contention, let's say the masters. it is must see tv. and the defending champ at augusta national right in the thick of things. sports is next.

we have the power to harness abundant wind and solar energy, but it's not available all day long. use less from 4 to 9 pm and we can protect california for generations to come.

good evening. tiger woods looked like the tiger of old today instead of old tiger with the bad back and around one of the masters pushed back to november because of pandemic. rainy day at augusta national but most got a round in before play was suspended including the champion. woods with a bogey three round and par 16th. i thought this was going in actually. rolls up to setup a tap in

birdie for tiger. on to the first hole because he started on the backside. 20-foot birdie putt for woods trademark. finishes at 4 under 68 matching his lowest opening round ever at the masters. the leader after round one paul casey second shot on the second hole sticks it. finished at seven under 65 and has a two-stroke lead. well, the last time nick mullins played in the superdome, he led southern miss to a new orleans bowl victory back in 2016. competition will be a little tougher on sunday with the 49er gassing in s going in as big under dogs and fans, fans at this game. not the usual 74,000 screaming at the top of their lungs with faces painted but about 6,000 will be allowed in to attend. mullins is pumped up. >> that's excitin. gets us fired up. any more energy you can get into the atmosphere feels like real football again so we're pumped

for that. >> so here we are, it's thursday night and the cal football team does not know if they are playing arizona state on saturday. it's two days away. cal's opener was called off because of one positive covid test and the entire defensive line was put into quarantine. the game with asu they may move it to sunday but the sun devils cancelled their practice today believed to be covid related. who knows what is going on there at all. we know stanford is playing colorado on saturday. they're still not sure if quarterback davis mills will be allowed to play. he was held out of the opener after a positive covid test. they have been monitoring four covid related tests this week and waiting for the county to tell them who will be allowed to actually play. >> we don't have any positive tests so we're, you know, we're continuing on but waiting on the county to make a decision and communicate with us.

>> mvp awards just announced in baseball. braves first baseman freddie freeman, 14 homers. first mvp since chipper jones in 1999 and in the american league, white sox slugger takes first jose abreu. [speaking foreign language]. >> i mean, how often do you see somebody so overwhelmed with emotion like that? i mean, his family is trying to get him to conduct the news conference but he was just stunned and as you could see, so emotional there. by the way, can you imagine dan, you're coaching a football team you're supposed to play in two days and you don't know if

you'll be allowed to play? >> how frustrating. >> wild. >> prepare to play and see what happens. >> exactly. exactly. all right. join us tonight for abc 7 news at 11:00. a rise in new covid cases is prompting alameda county to put the brakes on. that story tonight at 11:00. tonight an east bay school district could decide the fate of police on campus. a look at what is at stake. coming up tonight an abc 7 at 8:00 it's station 19 followed by two hours of "gray's anatomy" and stay with us for abc 7 news at 11:00. that will do it for this edition of abc 7 news. look for the latest news any time on abc7news.com or our app. the abc 7 news app. thanks for joining us. >> for spencer christian, larry beil, all of us, appreciate your time and hope to see you again at 11:00.
