AOL, Comcast & Hotmail account numbers were stolen along with their passwords almost a year ago. The hackers are just now getting around to using some of those accounts. However, ALL accounts were stolen and ALL passwords were stolen back then. Your account is not immune and WAS among those stolen, and the only way to prevent it from eventually being used for spam or porn is to...change your password now if you haven't in the last few months, and try to change it regularly. A new password is a happy password :-) Thanks. Janet
Correct Janet. You don't have to change your service provider, just your email password. It takes about five minutes to do that. Then the passwords stolen will not work for the thief. don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet Crawford" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 1:41:20 PM Subject: [COTIPPERARY] Admin message AOL, Comcast & Hotmail account numbers were stolen along with their passwords almost a year ago.
