The account was probably hijacked. My mom's account got hijacked a couple weeks ago. Received similar emails. She changed her password right away and no one in the family has seen any spam from her since.

It was spam. The content was mostly blank. This week I got 1 from my sister's yahoo account and it had some of her other contacts as recipient. Again it was spam. I looked at the mime and it say's it's from a yahoo email server. So how did web mail get infected with a spam engine? | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org |
