Yes, I did change my password, but only after I could be connected through a page provided by the tech support people, hopefully in an environment where my password change could not itself be read by whatever the evildoers might have set up on my PC.

I hear you saying you see no signs of a virus or “change”. But you should at least change your password at att.net. It may be merely that someone got your password (perhaps by phishing you or someone else who you may let access the account). Changing it will keep them out, at least until somehow they are able to phish it again. Just a thought (but a common problem I see.) /charlie From:ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Peyton Todd Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 9:17 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] HEY Yes, it appears so. However, a virus scan of my computer finds nothing, the tech support person at my e-mail provider finds no change to the standard parameters that (according to him) would be used by hackers to cause other problems, and the few people who had clicked the link before I could get the warning message out report that it would not open. Unfortunately he had no clue as to how it got hacked. ________________________________ From:Veronika Bari <veronikab...@yahoo.com> To: "discussion@acfug.org" <discussion@acfug.org> Sent: Fri, June 1, 2012 4:41:28 PM Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] HEY i think your email got hacked. ________________________________ From:Peyton Todd <peytont...@att.net> To: scklweorpkwpokwer...@mail.com Sent: Friday, June 1, 2012 10:11 AM Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] HEY you should give this a look http://www.spacnews.net/biz/?read=3292931 ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
