I know that I don't update this blog as often as I should or could. So, imagine my surprise when, yesterday, I happened to notice that there were FOUR new posts to my blog. These posts were all posted within the last 2 weeks and were NOT posted by me! These bogus posts contained information about weight loss products & "get out of debt now" scams. UGH!! Further investigation took me to my Yahoo! account which had, apparently, been hacked & had forwarded "get out of debt now" spam emails to everyone on my Yahoo! email list. I do not use my Yahoo! account for email so, fortunately, most of the email addresses were outdated & those malicious emails only made it to a few of my friends inboxes. I am uber diligent about online security so I'm not sure how this happened, although I do have a couple of theories. Needless to say, passwords have been changed & I will be paying more attention to both my Yahoo! & Google accounts from now on.
