Re: [Ql-Users] The *ins...
In message 4CDBA5AD11C04B28983C066AECBA2369@AnnPC, Dilwyn Jones dil...@evans1511.fsnet.co.uk writes email has been hacked... Does anyone have their phone no. to let them know (assuming they don't already?). So sad about all the hacking of late. Computeractive said in a recent issue that millions of passwords had been stolen from LinkedIn, Last FM/Spotify and eHarmony and now it looks like B T inte rnet email possibly hacked too. Couple that with rumours (admittedly only speculation) that what happened to some of the big UK banks in the last week or so was initiated by a hacking or DOS attack prior to the old technology failure officially admitted. Computeractive magazine gave the website address http://leakedin.org for checking if your passwords are on a stolen list. Must be some big scale foreign hacking going on, or we are simply hearing about more incidents, so remember to use STRONG passwords everyone. It's easy to make emails look like they're coming from someone else, but these spammers have obviously gained access to contacts lists within the email accounts. The internet sure as hell ain't the friendly place it used to be years ago! Dilwyn Hi, Shame it has happened to them ... :-( Well done to everyone on this list who have quickly spotted the problem. -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

There is a security problem with btinternet at the moment. I had an obvious phishing spam last week asking me to re-register details or my account would be terminated within 24 hours. I tried to report it to BT but their help service is abysmal, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

That is about as likely as me winning the lottery... and I never buy tickets. Whoever you are, you truly have no shame. Indeed. Looking at the message source, it is mightily odd with a very complex (but apparently) harmless html part. A very clever hack by someone who hacks into accounts, and reads past emails for relevant details, like being on holiday and where. If I lost my money the last thing I would do is blanket email my friends. The banks and consulate would help. AOL was also hit by an account hacker and I helped one victim last week, ironically, to move to BTinternet. The moral here is secure passwords, and change regularly. Secure ones are like Ge4?pP9a .
