This is posted on behalf of Nancy Goldberg - nancygoldberg05@ca.rr.com. Several times this week, I have received spam messages supposedly from British-Jewry. I have also received such messages supposedly from a cousin, and supposedly from a friend. All are from Yahoo addresses. An IT person said Yahoo is particularly susceptible to addresses being hijacked because they don't have good security. Per Jackye, 3 of the 4 recent Brit-Jewry spams had Yahoo addresses; she also mentioned AOL. If you have a Yahoo or AOL address, you may want to pressure them to step up security, or consider changing providers. Nancy Goldberg

Ifyou remember, in august i was hacked and now cant get back my yahoo and had a very time getting back my BT internet. I was on the way to hospital when it happened and my sons's firm managed to put it straight with great difficulty. I still cant get e mail on BT internet when i use another computer. so do be careful. louise -----Original Message----- From: Jackye Sullins Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2013 9:31 PM To: british-jewry@rootsweb.com Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] Recent Spam Problems This is posted on behalf of Nancy Goldberg - nancygoldberg05@ca.rr.com.

Yes, that is wonderful when early next month Sky is changing to Yahoo mail without allowing us to chose whether we want to or not. Sherry Landa (Oxford) All are from Yahoo addresses.
