Yahoo Email Failures

[John Noell]

There was just a HUGE(!!!) dump of email addresses and passwords in the last day or so. Many of us are getting emails with our address and a password that was used with it (but hopefully was changed before this!). However, just where they got the email/password (i.e., a merchant, your ISP, or ???) is not specified. If you use unique passwords for each site (important) you may see where it is from. They make threats in the email as if they knew WHERE you used that password but they don't necessarily know.

The password I got emailed to me, mentioned above, was the one I use for online forums, some of which aren't https yet like the Creek here. So be aware of that...

It looks "S" to me.

Nothing of harm in the yahoo emails, only they are a bother I now have figured that any yahoo email can not be answered but the rest are coming in ok. I never use the same password for a different forum. Forums get hacked all the time and if you use Facebook and use that sign in for everything.... your asking to be hacked!!
