Max, your email account is compromised

Post by Kristoffer Gjevre »

I am posting here as I do not want to send you email to that account when it looks like it is compromised.

I know - phishing attack. Just delete. I changed the password, so hopefully it will stop. I'm switching to Gmail permanently!

Maybe that's the wrong word. My account sent out that link to my whole contact list. Wasn't me - honest!!!! I'm pretty careful with that kind of stuff and don't open random links.

I had something similar happen with my yahoo email account a few months ago. I'm also very careful and am always on the lookout for phishing scams yet they somehow got my password. I changed my password and the spamming stopped but now I always have to enter my password twice as I always unthinkingly enter the old one before I remember I changed it.
