Hey Guys,<br>
<br>
My Yahoo seems to have been hacked by a spambot.<br>
<br>
It looks to have started at 7:40 and I got the first copy from myself<br>
at around 7:43.<br>
>From what I can see it started hitting some heavy bounce/returns about<br>
that time and may have stopped or got blocked.<br>
I was able to change my password by 8ish but it looks like the damage<br>
had been done.<br>
<br>
So I changed my password with twice as many numbers letters and am in<br>
the process of assessing all passwords on all accounts I have.<br>
<br>
What else can I do?<br>
<br>

From there, generate random (and different) passwords for everything and memorize a strong password to unlock them. Also look into two-factor authentication for any services that support it (I've been using it for my Google account for a while).</span> </div>
