Re: Not so OT: For our own group safety, check your Yahoo account (but not only)

[Guest guest]

Thanks a lot for that . For non-French speakers the quick link

to the Sucuri.net check is http://labs.sucuri.net/?yahooleak

And a reminder that you may miss if you bypass the French site: " 123456 "

is definitely not a secure password - even I with my disastrous memory

can manage better than that!

All the best
