OMG! I hate Yahoo

so I know some of you know that yahoo accounts have been getting hacked and crazy emails are getting sent to your contact list... Well that happened to CJ today and it sent some crazy webiste to me, his friend and the office manager of his work we webiste to order :the little blue pill" as well as some other random pills! EEEK

his friend thought it was funny, but he had me send an email to everyone it went to to tell them that it was a hacker/spam. 

we are switching to gmail tonight!

  • Oh man, that account hacking is getting out of control.  

    The only suggestion I have to those that have Hotmail or Yahoo is to delete your contact list.  It has appeared to me that it is emailing out of your contact list, so if you don't have a contact list, it can't get to you.  

    I PPH Gmail though :) 


  • for your username, just use initials, thats what I did...

    for your username, just use initials, thats what I did...

    did you use your married name initals? or your madien name initals?

    that is exactly what happen to CJ, it emailed everyone in his contacts.  His friend thought it was funny, the site that is not the hacking, and the office manager never said anything to CJ and he was in and out of the office most of the day today...

    I just think it will be wiser to switch to gmail, i keep hearing wonderful things about it =)

  • I've been using gmail for over 5 years now, and I still haven't figured out everything on it, but I also don't have to know every in and out of it to use it.

    I've never had a single issue with it, and I have loved it since the first week I started using it.  Unless they do some really crazy changes to it, I'll be using it forever.

  • My yahoo has been hacked several times which has lead to my facebook being hacked too!  It's a real pain!
