================================================ Admin: Grouply Posted by: "Rich Carlson" n9jig Date: Mon Sep 1, 2008 2:28 am ((PDT)) There has been a rash of messages back and forth on various Yahoo Groups of a new "service" called Grouply. Grouply allows you to supposedly manage your subscriptions to various mail lists from Yahoo and others but it also requires that your Yahoo name and password be stored and provided to Grouply, thus they have full access to all your Yahoo services. Other people who have subscribed to Grouply have reported a large increase in spam, virus and malware being transmitted due to it. While the owners of Grouply assure that there will be no problems and they promise to behave there is no protection against a Grouply employee or hacker accessing the information. It also allows Grouply to send invites and other spam to members of your lists, whether you want it or not. For these reasons Grouply is not allowed on CARMA. Do Not join Grouply under any ID's that are subscribed to this group. While CARMA is a well protected list we can not protect it against the actions of Grouply, therefore any CARMA Member ID that subscribes to Grouply will be dropped from the CARMA List. <http://www.ncs-tech.org/?p=1146> has much info on this "service" -- Rich Carlson, N9JIG List Co-Owner --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
