Re: [Phono-L] Virus Link (was no subject)

2012-02-28 Thread Tom Jordan 
A few months back, friends asked me about unusual e-mails they had received
from me.  After looking at an example, I knew that I hadn't send it.  Come
to find out, my email account had been hijacked by someone hacking into my
ISP's server.

I changed all of my passwords immediately.  The next day when I logged into
my account, I couldn't access it as they had tried to hack it again and
locked up the access to my account by attempting incorrect passwords too
many times.  

I changed my password again and I have my account set so that I have to
manually enter my password each time and don't have it saved for auto login.
Since then, I haven't had any more issues.

This is something that happens to hundreds of people (perhaps a lot more)
every day without their having any knowledge that it took place.

I don't know Jerry, but it sounds like he was a victim of a hacker, just as
I had been.
Tom

Yes you are correct Loran Jerry did not post it intentionally. I contacted
him as soon as I rec'd my first Spam from him. Someone had hijacked his
email account.

  I'm sorry that got out on the list - Phono-L has a pretty good track
record of catching spam & viruses. If you clicked on it, you will want to
scan your computer. Jerry would not have posted that intentionally - someone
has hijacked his email account.
