My email at unlawflcombatntX@yahoo.com has recently been hacked into by someone. I don't know how many false emails have been sent out on my behalf.
Please inform me if you receive peculiar email from my email address. The 1st clue that I did not send the email is the absence of a "subject" in the subject line.
The 2nd clue that I did not send it is when there is more than one addressee on it, since I NEVER send an email to more than 2 people at a time (and even then, one of those persons is usually myself).

Well maybe you shouldn't have set your password to FuckFreeTraders. ;D

Well maybe you shouldn't have set your password to FuckFreeTraders. ;D Yeah, I'm going to have to change it. I think it's because too many other people had the same password.

This same thing just happened to me on my hotmail account!! I have all kinds of virus protection and never open suspicious emails so don't know how it happened. A google search makes it sound like it is happening a lot lately. If anyone receives an email from me in the last couple days don't open it. I think I have it fixed now though.

Thanks for commenting, Judes.
I have Yahoo Mail accounts with different screen names, and both had been hacked.
It was more than a little problematic, as some of the emails went to my current employer, and to some potential future employers. It seems like the hacker got hold of my Yahoo address book.
I think I have the problem solved, but I don't know for sure.
Obviously all the internet "security" crap they sell doesn't work very well. I'm not sure that it actually works at all.
