Title: Has my e-mail been hijacked
Post by: gerry7 on January 07, 2011, 04:32:16 AM

Has my Yahoo e-mail been hijacked? If so, what can I do about it? I have found two delivery failure messages in my spam folder relating to e-mails which I have never sent.

It has the words "VIRTUALLY AUTHENTIC" before my e-mail address. They  relate to an advertisement for fake products with a link to  hxxp://www.bladechange.com/

As long as they are in your spam folder don't worry about it.

My yahoo email was hijacked. It sent spam email to all my contacts. If you call yahoo there is a recording about their site getting hijacked.

@flight: Try changing your Yahoo! Mail password. Btw, next time please create your own topic. :)
