Grouply Warning?

WARNING ABOUT GROUPLY.COM!!! Warning about Grouply.Com This is a new site which advertises they can make accessing your Groups faster and easier. Most of us are too seasoned to fall for Something like this, but I am posting this in case anyone here has Not already heard the warnings that are being posted around the Groups. Just last night I received an invitation in my personal e-mail To join this site. This is what happens when you join: "First, when a member joins, it AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES THEIR PRIMARY E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR THE GROUPS giving them a @grouply.com Extension. This is being done UNAWARE TO THOSE WHO ARE JOINING! Secondly, members who join the grouply website are having to give Their member ID and password. This opens up a security issue for Those members. Thirdly, once a member joins grouply, IT OPENS ACCESS TO THE FILES AND POSTS OF EACH GROUP TO THE GROUPLY WEBSITE. Grouply staff can then access these files. If they get hacked, then It OPENS THE DOORS TO THE GROUPS GETTING HACKED as well. It has also been reported that it's generating a lot of spam already." In other words, information from a group can be made accessible to Everyone, and massive amounts of spam with your email address can be Generated. The following information tells you the steps which need to be taken If someone has joined Grouply..com IDENTIFY THEFT AT GROUPLY.COM There is a message going out to different Yahoo Groups advertising And suggesting that you join a new group called GROUPLY. This group Claims to help manage all your Yahoo groups and you will get a Summary, at the end of the day, telling you what is going on in all Your groups. IF YOU JOIN THIS GROUP, they use your Yahoo ID and password to Post "mass mailings" (can be junk, can be porno) and send them to Anyone, and since it's YOUR ID they are using, others will think it Is coming from you. For instance, you could get an email CLAIMING that it came From "Doe" Yahoo group and it really is not from this group. I Could get an email, with this mass mailing, claiming it came from me, And it wouldn't have been from me. Again, IF YOU HAVE JOINED THIS GROUP called "GROUPLY" IMMEDIATELY Leave Grouply. Then go into your account at: http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups and change your password. Some Groups have posted that this will help. Unsubscribing from that group Won't make a difference (but I think you will want to) so CHANGE YOUR YAHOO PASSWORD!! BY JOINING GROUPLY.COM YOU HAVE ALSO EXPOSED ALL YOUR GROUPS, GROUP MEMBERS AND GROUP LEADERS TO HACKING OF THEIR E-MAILS AND GROUP INFORMATION. Because of this problem, all members with a email grouply.com are Being removed from the affected groups. This is the only way to Protect all the members. This is how Identity theft gets going. They now have your real email, your yahoo emails, any emails listed In your yahoo group and CAN MAIL AS YOU IN AND OUT OF THE YAHOO GROUPS.

Does anyone know (Fearless

Leaders?) how moderators can tell when group members join Grouply? I have a

friend who moderates a needlework group and is concerned about this…

And I keep getting

invitations from people I don’t know to join something called the

FreebieCafe2975 group. Anyone know what THAT is?

Got enough

aggravations without being “Hacked-n-Spammed” ! :-0

Grouply Warning?

WARNING ABOUT GROUPLY.COM!!!

Warning about Grouply.Com

This is a new site which advertises they can make accessing your

Groups faster and easier. Most of us are too seasoned to fall for

Something like this, but I am posting this in case anyone here has

Not already heard the warnings that are being posted around the

Groups. Just last night I received an invitation in my personal e-mail

To join this site.

This is what happens when you join:

" First, when a member joins, it AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES THEIR

PRIMARY E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR THE GROUPS giving them a @grouply.com

Extension. This is being done UNAWARE TO THOSE WHO ARE JOINING!

Secondly, members who join the grouply website are having to give

Their member ID and password. This opens up a security issue for

Those members.

Thirdly, once a member joins grouply, IT OPENS ACCESS TO THE

FILES AND POSTS OF EACH GROUP TO THE GROUPLY WEBSITE.

Grouply staff can then access these files. If they get hacked, then

It OPENS THE DOORS TO THE GROUPS GETTING HACKED as well.

It has also been reported that it's generating a lot of spam already. "

In other words, information from a group can be made accessible to

Everyone, and massive amounts of spam with your email address can be

Generated.

The following information tells you the steps which need to be taken

If someone has joined Grouply..com

IDENTIFY THEFT AT GROUPLY.COM

There is a message going out to different Yahoo Groups advertising

And suggesting that you join a new group called GROUPLY. This group

Claims to help manage all your Yahoo groups and you will get a

Summary, at the end of the day, telling you what is going on in all

Your groups.

IF YOU JOIN THIS GROUP, they use your Yahoo ID and password to

Post " mass mailings " (can be junk, can be porno) and send them to

Anyone, and since it's YOUR ID they are using, others will think it

Is coming from you.

For instance, you could get an email CLAIMING that it came

From " Doe " Yahoo group and it really is not from this group. I

Could get an email, with this mass mailing, claiming it came from me,

And it wouldn't have been from me.

Again, IF YOU HAVE JOINED THIS GROUP called " GROUPLY " IMMEDIATELY

Leave Grouply. Then go into your account at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

and change your password. Some

Groups have posted that this will help. Unsubscribing from that group

Won't make a difference (but I think you will want to) so CHANGE YOUR

YAHOO PASSWORD!!

BY JOINING GROUPLY.COM YOU HAVE ALSO EXPOSED ALL YOUR GROUPS, GROUP

MEMBERS AND GROUP LEADERS TO HACKING OF THEIR E-MAILS AND GROUP

INFORMATION.

Because of this problem, all members with a email grouply.com are

Being removed from the affected groups. This is the only way to

Protect all the members. This is how Identity theft gets going.

They now have your real email, your yahoo emails, any emails listed

In your yahoo group and CAN MAIL AS YOU IN AND OUT OF THE

YAHOO GROUPS.

Anne,

Thanks for sharing this. Like you, I recently received an invatation to join this site. Although I didn't know about the warning until just now, I did not accept the invatation, but went ahead and deleted it. I'm glad I did, now.

Love and blessings....
