Folks, As you have seen, the Group has been getting sammed lately. Most soams never get posted to the Group, but some do. These apparently come from hacked Yahoo email accounts.
Yahoo itself was hacked, and the passwords to about half a million Yahoo email addresses were obtained. There are articles about it here <http://www.ibtimes.com/yahoo-password-hack-where-find-list-hacked-email-accounts-722396> and here <http://mashable.com/2012/07/12/yahoo-voices-hacked/>. The latter article also gives a link to see whether your particular address is on the list. What is happening here is that the hackers have obtained access to other people's Yahoo email accounts. If that applies to your address, they can read all your mail, and send mails /as though they were you./ So they will happily spam any groups that are connected with that email address. We have now had several cases of it in a matter of a few days, so I thought it time to take action. PLEASE: If you use a Yahoo account to access this Group, either check the second link and change your password, or just change your password. Thank you, -John ======================= _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
