I was just hijacked and apparently my yahoo im sent some messages of a pornographic nature. I am working to find out who did it and why. But, if you got one of those messages from me, I sincerely apologize.

I am working to find the source, LaPlace. But right now, I have no idea. I can tell you that it was NOT any member of my family, as they were all in the front of the house with me eating supper as it was happening.

Make sure your password is a random combination of letters and numbers, that usually stops anyone accessing your account. Most people use a password that is of some imporance to them which makes it especially easy for someone they know to crack.

Upon further investigation, it was found that some spyware was installed on this computer, which of course i had nothing to do with. I deleted that and changed passwords anyway, just in case. I am still very angry about the whole mess, but hopefully this should take care of it.

MS Defender
Pest Patrol
Spyhunter

Get that little lot installed and you will not have to worry about spyware again.

A few years ago someone hacked into my hotmail account and sent out obscene messages. Well the dimwits IP address kinda gave him away.
