God damn, what is with the rampant Yahoo/Hotmail email hacking? Is there an exploit out there or something?
-
@windigo There is a recent flood of click jacking for Android devices via hacked yahoo email accounts. (crackers follow the sheeple)
-
Hmm, the people I know who have had their accounts hacked don't use android devices... and they just end up sending malicious/spam links.
-
@windigo That's what I mean. The crackers are taking over yahoo accounts to send out malicious links. Recently its a android exploit.
-
The Yahoo account thing has been going on for about three years. One after another, near constant.
-
@windigo ... and I agree. Most of the ppl who've been sending me phishing spam don't use mobile devices at all.
-
Ahhh, I see - that would make sense. It'd be nice if Yahoo could prevent the compromise in the first place!
-
@windigo Its as easy as increasing your password by 1 char. The security goes up exponentially. 1234- crackable, 12345 rock solid!
-
Ha ha ha, I did set her up with a slightly stronger password - although I wouldn't be surprised if I get another link from her soon. :(
-
@windigo I just noticed a spam email from my forgotten yahoo email account was sent to my gmail account. :| #Time.to.close.that.unused.account

I have an old yahoo account with a single entry in the address book - my new account - for the same reason.
