This is a plague on all mailing lists I'm on. Please don't be too quick to ban people who have the misfortune of having their email account hacked.

Re: [h-cost] SPAMMERS ON HCOSTUME
I'm on a small List that isn't listed anywhere except where we choose it to be (very limited exposure). It has remained spam-free for years. By letting Yahoo list a list, it automagically inherits a certain amount of spam. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Oct 5, 2011, at 7:31 AM, Audrey Bergeron-Morin wrote: This is a plague on all mailing lists I'm on.

It has remained spam-free for years. By letting Yahoo list a list, it automagically inherits a certain amount of spam. But this was not spam. This was obviously the case of a legitimate person getting his/her account hacked. This has been happening all over the Internet for a few months now. The only way to prevent this is to put *everyone* on moderation *all the time*, which is not a viable solution for the list admins. We got a similar message on our restricted local SCA group list, you know, the one we only let people we know personally on? It's not spam in the traditional sense. This is actually coming from the account of a real person, who has no idea his or her account is being used for this purpose. The solution? Well... there is not one definitive answer, but please use complex passwords, change them often, and refrain from clicking on suspicious links. And, by the way, h-costume is with indra, not Yahoo. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Every closed list that I moderate on yahoo has been hit with spam this year by folks having their email accounts hacked -- and they've not all been yahoo addresses either.

Re: [h-cost] SPAMMERS ON HCOSTUME
Folks, These days it does not take a spammer gaining control of your email account. Just clicking on the wrong thing can cause a malicious program to infiltrate your account and snatch your address book. The solution: be careful what you click. Now, we all recognize spam when we see it (at least, I hope we do). Just DELETE and let's get back to our regularly scheduled costume conversation.
