I received a fair few spam emails this week from people all over the place - the heading format was Date/Time like this for instance... 3/8/2013 10:25:44 AM...And inside was a "click-able" blue link. Well, apparently I caught the flu too - some spam bot from Turkey apparently got me and my account has sent out a fair few emails too. Please don't click the links - gawd only knows where they go. I've changed my password and I've made a "Security Seal" which should prevent stuff like this happening again. I recommend anyone else to do this too. My apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced by this. [ This message was edited by: Administrator on 2013-03-08 10:38 ]

Yeah, I have rather a lot of contact addresses in my email list - I think everyone got one from me - quite a feat really, it accessed my address book at 9.10am this morning and really hammered them out! [ This message was edited by: Administrator on 2013-03-08 11:12 ]

It happened to me last night too, could see fake emails being sent from me. Happened to my wife too. We changed passwords too. Anybody else had it happen?

I received over half a dozen emails from various people - and Yahoo London Head Office are receiving a "heavy volume" of calls today - I waited 8 minutes on the phone and gave up - Hotmail here we come!
