Posted: 09 Jul 2006, 12:05Posted: 09 Jul 2006, 12:39I've not received anything really nasty, so I'm quite disappointed! Perhaps we should coin the term 'phooding' for hacking Sploshers....
Posted: 09 Jul 2006, 15:39I have just had this problem with Yahoo as well, and have also changed my password.
I had a whole bunch of IMs from people saying I'd sent them a link to some pics which didn't work! I had done no such thing. I was in the car all day that day!
Sorry if you got one, but I think I have IMed all the recipiants already.

Re: Hacked Accounts
Posted: 09 Jul 2006, 17:26Right, let me clear this up a little.
Ive found out more about this, it's coming from yahoo messenger. If someone sends you a pm with a link - something like geocitys.com/view_mypics do NOT click on it. There are no pics there at all. Infact it's not even coming from the person you think has sent it.
No one is being targeted in the wam community, it's happening all over yahoo messenger.
So what should we all do?
Run a virus test asap - AVG is free if you have not got one.
Get a Firewall - I use sygate firewall, im not sure if it is free or not.
Change all your passwords, as many as you can think of. ( You should be doing this at least once a month anyway. )
Run adware or something like that.
It wont hurt to do a disk derangement at the end of all this either.
Hope this helps

Posted: 10 Jul 2006, 11:38I got hit too but mine came from DD. Clicked on link and boom two days later I get a notice my password was changed.
Lucikly for me, I was able to get yahoo to change it again and I now have full control of the Yahoo ID.
Also nothing showed up on AV, spybot or ad-aware So i'm hoping i'm cool

Posted: 10 Jul 2006, 19:51Yep I got some from DD too! I was very dissapointed that it wasnt actually he personal web pics
Think its just a page which gets you to type in your username and password, but instead of logging in to yahoo the gits will just intercept them and use them for themselves. I think as long as you get in there and change your password asap (if you are stupid enough to type them in
) you should be ok.

Posted: 11 Jul 2006, 12:50To anyone who got it from me.... I got it from Jonny!
It's some sort of Yahoo messenger transmitted disease... what James has said pretty much explains it.
To all you who thought you were getting pics of me, i am sorry. I'll post a little treat later on.

Posted: 11 Jul 2006, 13:12I got it from some thing too... I think its some kinda random thing
Posted: 11 Jul 2006, 13:20I doubt any one individual is responsible. Once these things kick off they are almost impossible to trace.
It hasn't eaten my hard disk or tapped into my tiny bank account so that's all that matters, and I hope that's true for all you guys too
