    Yahoo Email Failures

    My website has a live link click and even a dummy can send me an email. Lately in the past few weeks I have been getting a bunch of Yahoo email from the website, respond and it comes back from Outlook Postmaster Delivery failed. So is it just a bunch of scammers or is it just a Windows 10 thing?

    If you suddenly started getting this stuff it may be a problem. Do not ignore this! Get somebody that knows what they're doing o look at it.....

    They may be after passwords- I had some 'pay me or else' email not long ago, and the subject line was one of my passwords! And in November our biz bank account was 'quietly' raided of $17 grand thru normal looking transactions which didn't even require passwords... The thieves are thick lately...

    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...

    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!!
