Warning; AOL and Yahoo email accounts are being hijacked!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

as we have just seen in the spam message just sent to the list by Mike Fellows,

spammers are increasingly breaching the passwords of numerous aol.com and

yahoo.com (in Mike's case yahoo.com.au) accounts and then sending spam to

everyone in the respective online address book.

As moderator of both this Yahoogroup and the Rife Forum, I have been seeing this

happening to an ever increasing number of email accounts from legitimate

members.

When it happens to members on the Rife Forum, such messages are sent to me, yet

not the forum itself.

On this Yahoogroup, I have already stopped a number of these from moderated

members. As Mike was not on moderation (he is now), his spam message went

straight through to the list.

I have now deleted that message from the online archives . it simply contained a

link to a company in Canada selling a certain health related product (I am sure

you have all seen ads for those).

If you currently have an aol.com, yahoo.com or even hotmail.com email address, I

strongly suggest changing your password now to a term preferably containing a

mix of numbers and characters, certainly not a word you would find in a

dictionary.
