| Email hackers Guys, both my yorkie email accounts have been hacked into and someone is sending messages from Dee's Lil' Yorkies to people I have never heard of. Two such messages were returned this morning is how I found out. I have reason to believe it is someone on here because recently, we have had a couple of members leave. One of the messages returned said "I can't believe you want to leave such a wonderful place". Safe enough message but very upsetting since I have not sent such a message to anyone. The messages this morning had been sent to an email address that did not exist, therefore returned to deeslilyorkies. So if you get anything from me, make sure I am the one that sent it. Thanks. Oh, and beware of your own email accounts. |

| I hope you can get it fixed so it doesn't happen again. Why can't these hackers just leave people alone. Yes...don't forget to change all your passwords. Sorry this happened to you Dee.

| will changing the passwords stop it? I have all kinds of virus and hacker protection and just did a complete scan and all it found was tracking cookies. |

| Our daughter just had her e-mail account hacked into. She was thankful that she uses different passwords for all her accounts. She found out because people that she knew informed her of weird e-mails they were getting from her. I got one and wanted to know what she was up to. Very annoying and potentially devastating. ~Joanne~

| Some hackers have programs that can track your inputted passwords on their computers, so when you enter in your password they can actually "see" it, and not just the ****** you know what I mean? These guys are more of the pros. Both of my bank accounts got hacked form overseas and they drained my accounts, good thing my friend works at my bank, she straightened it out, but at the second bank? OMG, I closed my account afterwards for how they treated me. But anyway, for the first bank, once I got my new debit card number, someone used the new card to check my balance again! They already had a copy of my actual brand new card! Good thing there's never any money in my account! HAHAHAHA! yea, good thing huh? LOL For people that are just mad at you for some dumb reason, a really easy way to get someone's password is the "forgot password" link. usually those security questions are really dumb and if someone knows you at all, they will be able to answer those questions, then they get a new password emailed to them, they change your old password and security questions, and you get locked out of your own account! Don't ask, but someone did that to me before. Sorry this happened to you. It's SO frustrating.

| Not sure how it works but I have had a lot of emails sent from my wedpage. I was told it is a common thing.

| Dee, I had this happen to me once before, the computer guy I had come to my house used his OWN computer and had me change all my passwords as the program some of these hackers use can track every keystroke.. Use another computer to change all the passwords, this did help.. Now I have a MAC so It no longer happens.
