[AGL] Yahoo Mail Hack

[TeleBob]

Dear recipient of Mail from Bob,



Please accept my apologies for receiving a malicious link from my Mail
Server. However, I didn't send it.


Yahoo mail sent it.  Their security is terrible.


Today I clicked on a link sent by a friend and it contained a virus script.
It  grabbed my Yahoo Mail contacts and began automatically sending

the link to everyone in my mailbox.


Evidently the virus reads your contacts and sends them back to Yahoo where
their server completes the dirty work.


I would never intentionally send a link that I had not already determined
(in my admittedly limited way) to be safe.


I have now removed and trashed all my Yahoo mail contacts. Goodbye to
whomever you were.


I will keep my Gmail … though it is probably as suspect as anything else.
 Google already knows far too much about everything and everyone.


I will remain on several lists. But I will not forward any links.  Maybe a
photo or so, but no links... unless

thoroughly vetted of course.


Best to you all.


Bob S.
