Richard, just what do you mean by hijacked? The
Rollei-Yahoo acct., the entire Yahoo acct. or ? How can
this happen generally?
Roger (WK9R)
Evidently a lot of e-mail accounts were hacked. The
hacker is able to post using the account. If the account has
a web based address book the hacker sends to all in it.
Yahoo seems to have had a lot of its accounts hacked and
there is another from an AT&T account today (also got the
same thing personally). One way to avoid this is to change
passwords frequently. I don't know how the hacking is done
but it suggests a lot of ISP's do not have very strong
security.
To be clear this does not seem to be hacking of
individual machines.
