Yahoo mail is rubbish

[Jon Corby]

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.

[Jon O'Neill]

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

[Matt Morrison]

Can you not just see the sent message and reply to all with an apology?

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.

Obviously I care about you guys though.

Not telling you, but it was just a word.

So because you have "road" as your password and someone manages to guess it, it Yahoo e-mail that's rubbish and not you?

Yes. I should be asked for three separate passwords, and enter a security question each time I want to send a mail.

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.

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.
