yahoo junk mail
Is anyone getting a lot of spam from @yahoo.com? We get some each day. Each one is from an address we don't recognize. I can't block all yahoo addresses, because we have some friends who use it. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you! |
I heard on the radio the other day that Yahoo has just experienced another glut of problems from the hack that took place to over a billion (YES it said Billion) accounts back in 2013. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/t...hack.html?_r=0
There was just another hack recently. http://bgr.com/2017/02/16/yahoo-says...your-password/ So you can either put up with the spam or block all yahoo accounts and tell your friends that you have blocked all yahoo accounts due to all the spam and if they need to communicate with you they need to find an alternative source. Quite honestly, in light of all the security breaches I would not have a yahoo account. |
Changing email address is or can be a Royal pain.
|
The breaches happened a few years ago as well..so damage is done.
|
The hackers stole personal info like the answers to security questions.

I have a yahoo account only because I had to have it to join yahoo groups. I have all mail from those groups going to my gmail account, and I never even look at the yahoo account. There might be a lot of spam there, but it doesn't affect me. Spam does get sent to gmail, but it's pretty good (not perfect) at putting it in the spam folder automatically. The only problem is, it sometimes misidentifies legitimate emails as spam, so I have to keep checking the spam folder to see if there's good stuff in there.

Because of all the issues yahoo has been having lately I changed my email account to a different provider.
