personal email hacked

my personal email account was just hacked, so if you get a message from me don't click on it. I'm trying to figure out what happened. since Im on my cellphone its hard for me to change my password. as soon as I get to my office I will be changing my password

Glad I checked LJ before email; just texted you before I go out for the eve. (Sending man in icon to deal with the hacker-bastard.)

The only way I knew about it was my phone started going off with all these bounced e-mails. 30 in less than 30 minutes!

I hightailed it back to my office to change the passwords for all my yahoo email addresses and hope I don't get hacked again

I was wondering why you were telling us to go find a job. Not that I don't appreciate that sort of advice but still.

I'm glad you were able to fix it!

Chin will help track down the culprits!

Does yahoo offer that thing gmail does where if your account is attempting to be logged into from an unknown device it makes you receive a text message or call to your phone number (previously set up) and enter a code in order to even get in? I have my gmail set up like that and sure it can be a PITA sometimes, but seeing this just makes me glad I go through that every 30 days on my personal PC and especially when I log in from other new places. Just a feeling of comfort I guess?

I think I might have seen something like that with Yahoo but I just ignored it
