Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Maybe they hit forward key and then sent message to many addresses that had no business getting these messages. I have no idea what these people are up to, but I guess I will have to cut and paste messages I want to keep track of. These people need to find something constructive to do. > > so let me get this straight, hackers were hacking computers by attaching to the forward button/link ? so if you fowarded a post to your email than opened it you may have been hacked? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was reading my email and for no reason I had a dozen drafts saved in my drafts folder which I know I didnt save. Later that day I was signing on to and I had a pop of message saying that my screen name was logged on at another computer. I immediately changed my password. Just last week a friend sent a link for porn which went to my spam folder. When I emailed him and asked him why he would send me such a link he said he didn't do it, someone somehow hacked their way into his email account and started sending out porn web sites using his email address. I've known this guy for quite a few years and I know he would never send me such a link even as a joke. > > > > so let me get this straight, hackers were hacking computers by attaching to the forward button/link ? so if you fowarded a post to your email than opened it you may have been hacked? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've had that too, that someone else is signed in to another computer. I wondered if it was my Facebook account. I used the same email address and I stay signed in, as I also stay signed in to often also, so you might consider that but my email address has been used to spam. I've found mail from my own address in my spam folder that wasn't sent by me. I kept my address anyway because I am subscribed to sooo many things compared to the spam issue, had the same address since 1999 or so. Anyway, periodically changing your email password is a good thing. We have to do that at work every three months for security reasons. > > > I was reading my email and for no reason I had a dozen drafts saved in my drafts folder which I know I didnt save.
