Yahoo mail is rubbish
Apologies to everyone who has received a mail from my yahoo account linking to some Canadian Pharm vendor.
I guess my password was not that secure.

Have you changed your password by now? If so, what was it?

Can you not just see the sent message and reply to all with an apology?
Re: Yahoo mail is rubbish
It sent about 50 mails to about 6 recipients each time. CBA really. A lot of them are dead, a lot of them I can't place, or don't give a crap about.Matt Morrison wrote:Can you not just see the sent message and reply to all with an apology?
Obviously I care about you guys though.

Re: Yahoo mail is rubbish
So because you have "road" as your password and someone manages to guess it, it Yahoo e-mail that's rubbish and not you?
Re: Yahoo mail is rubbish
Yes. I should be asked for three separate passwords, and enter a security question each time I want to send a mail.Gavin Chipper wrote:So because you have "road" as your password and someone manages to guess it, it Yahoo e-mail that's rubbish and not you?

Re: Yahoo mail is rubbish
Are you sure it's a password hack? I get emails from Paul Howe all the time, and other people in my inbox, informing me of great details on electrical goods. I know it's not them emailing me just some facebook-esque app. they've inadvertently latched onto.

Re: Yahoo mail is rubbish
There's no validation on the From field of an email, anyone can send any email from joncorby@chunkylover.com. But the fact that they went to Corby's contacts suggests that it was a real email hack.
