I should probably get rid of the account. I have been getting a lot of spam on an alternate name for my regular account--this worries me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also an email telling me I'd won the national lottery. I don't think so. Time to change passwords again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742579 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 12:17:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1742579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry this happened to you! &nbsp;It reminds me to change passwords regularly and circle back to close or change unused accounts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742569 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:55:22 +0000 Meredith 1742569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! Thanks for the warning and glad your situation seems to be sorted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742516 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 09:00:19 +0000 Astrid 1742516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my credit card details stolen last year to pay for an expensive electronics order in the USA. I was just lucky that I am a poor student, so they went far over my credit card limit and the bank refused it because of that. No idea if my money would have been lost otherwise! I also have a Yahoo account which I don't use anymore (but I have them forward any mails). Good to hear you could sort it all out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742499 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:32:52 +0000 rachylou 1742499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad ATT came through. Follow up on that tho, because their billing and fraud and sales departments are notoriously firewalled from each other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742492 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 05:37:29 +0000 Sal 1742492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know! &nbsp;Thanks for sharing and pleased you could get on top of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742477 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:35:19 +0000 anne 1742477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about all this - thanks for the warning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hacking-yahoo-att#post-1742391 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 00:10:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1742391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PSA: If you ever had a Yahoo account, or you get e-mails about purchases you did not make of expensive electronics, heads up:</p> <p>I have resolved the issue, but someone hacked my AT&amp;T account and ordered a new iPhone 7 for a family member, to be delivered to an address other than mine.</p> <p>Yesterday I got a spate of mail from many strange newsletters and sites I had supposedly signed up for. Including the newsletter of the Dachau Concentration Camp! In among these thousands of mails was an e-mail that I took initially to be spam, regarding the purchase of the aforementioned phone.</p> <p>I contacted AT&amp;T yesterday and they said there was no sign of fraud, all was well, and they would note my account to be on the lookout for any issues. Today I got an e-mailed notice of Fedex shipping to (what seems to be a house for sale). I called AT&amp;T again and this time they realized it was indeed true. I'm not paying (they used someone else's fraudulently obtained credit card data) and it's sorted.</p> <p>I gave some consideration to how this might have happened and I have decided it relates back to a Yahoo account that I set up about 15 years ago but never use. It is known that hackers stole all the Yahoo information. The Yahoo e-mail is my first and last name (at) yahoo.com. Well, I realized that I have a first and last name account (at) the different e-mail provider I used for AT&amp;T <b>but</b> I used the same password for both Yahoo and the AT&amp;T website. </p>
