| schestowitz | > Roy, I will be leaving Yahoo mail, future E-mails will be from ....... As you see below and my attempts to notify Yahoo has sent me into a quagmire of help screens with no place to write Yahoo. I found that E-mail addy below from a web search, and it is no longer valid. | Jun 04 11:01 |

| schestowitz | > Yahoo has changed and could care less about abuse of their E-mail systems. I found out I am not alone; others have E-mailed me that they too have experienced the same pwning. Their Yahoo E-mail was hacked, but without evidence of unauthorized log in to their account. | Jun 04 11:01 |

| schestowitz | > This means somehow the E-mail server was hacked, or it was an inside job. Since Yahoo has been taken over by a former Microsoft executive, things have changed. What used to be reliable E-mail has been replaced by indifference and lack of concern over security. | Jun 04 11:01 |

| schestowitz | > This is so sad but seems to reflect the type of concern (or lack of it) over people's security. A now Microsoft partner who turned down Microsoft, then gets pwned by a Microsoft crone turned CEO, dumps their own search engine for Bing, now gives up on E-mail security. This is the way they treat a Microsoft partner. This is so typical of Microsoft, is it not? | Jun 04 11:01 |

| schestowitz | > My account with.... was also hacked .....again appears to be an inside job. I don't know if Microsoft has pwned that company, too, but anything Linux is an enemy of Microsoft, and it would not surprise me that they are involved, too. | Jun 04 11:01 |

| schestowitz | > At least Google seems more concerned about security with gmail. | Jun 04 11:01 |
