Hi list there is a major hacking issue with yahoo. for the passed several weeks I have periodically gotten messages with a subject like, Ken or for ken in which the sender doesn’t match the display name. most of these have been facebook friends name or facebook pages of friends I have or pages I like or people who have too many friends and I am following their public comments but recently these have been non facebook related senders as display names. something like for example the sender will be a foreign yahoo address like yahoo.BR or yahoo.DE but the display name will be ken lawrence to use my name as an example. the body is usually a single line containing a URL. letters and numbers ans such. this appears to be system wide on yahoo. there have been other situations where groups get bomb messages like selling stuff. so think it’s yahoo. you may or may not have been hacked but I think more likely yahoo has been hacked generally or partially hacked. you might try to reset a password like the postts here suggest. we had to do that on AOL a couple years ago when some farmacy scammer using foreign display names atatching them to our email addresses something like marco_ kenlawrence124@aol.com they managed to get around the spam protection feature that triggers an automatic lockout and scramble of all passwords on an account this way. all of us were getting the bounces of this randumly sent canadian farmacy scam. tech support advised us all to change passwords. it happened once while I was online right at the top of an hour I heard a you’ve got mail announcement then in rapid succession click click click several times. my inbox and spam folder both filled up with something like 300 bounces and auto replies.
