This issue needs to be addressed immediately as it is impacting my work!
Emails telling me to reset my email security settings?
Neither of the emails telling you to change your security settings are actually from AT%26amp;T or Yahoo. This is called spoofing, or phishing and is intended to get you to panic and answer one of them, giving details. I don't know where you'd send the ones to AT%26amp;T, but you can forward the ones from Yahoo to: mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. If you have already been tricked into giving your password, please visit http://security.yahoo.com/article.html?a...


and follow the instructions there. Also: http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lo...
Reply:I guess the question is what do I do? I think the answer is send a note to Yahoo and not to ask a bunch of idiots that don't have passwords into Yahoo's network!
