I had someone get into my yahoo email account and steal all my email addresses. Then they use my name on the heading to try to get them to open it. My computer guy at work said, first, delete my email address list on yahoo. If you are smarter than I am you could transfer the address list to the gmail site. I couldn't do it, so I just wrote the addresses down and deleted the yahoo address list. gmail is supposed to be much more secure than yahoo.
But he also said there is no way to stop them now that they have the addsress list. The spam emails are not coming from my yahoo email account. They just use my name to try to get someone to open the spam. The first spam were from some drug company. Then there was spam from something called emailtogod or some such. That's pretty funny, since I don't have a religious bone in my body.
Anyway, it's exasperatinmg as hell. If I could only meet the SOB that did this face to face!!
