Others on that server such as some AOL & G-mail accounts were also hacked. Fox news said to go here: https://[B]shouldichangemypassword[/B].com to check out your password. Just type in your email address obviously this site can't steal your info. from that then type in your email address and it will check it out. It is really slow. I imagine that many people are checking out their email addresses. So far my email addresses (that I have been able to check,) are O.K. I am now changing them anyway. I use Rock.com email
for this Forum and am unable to change it now. I assume that maybe they are backed up by people changing passwords.

I use Yahoo,
Today I had 38 E-Mails in my Spam Folder
I have never had that many
All for sales crap, so this is what I think of thier sales

Well you get the idea

What a perfect scam. you go to a site, and give them your user name and password to see if it is hacked.... well it is now!

Change your password weekly.
In the meantime, dump it and forget about it.
That's what I do, along with those "people" who keep popping up via Yahoo messenger.
Assholes.
