Yahoo mail

Post by Coyote »

I don't know if any of you are like me, hopefully not, but I have a personal e-mail account, a G-mail account, a Hotmail account, for spam reasons, I give that to websites that insist on an email account, and a yahoo account for non personal responses.

Well, I have not been able to log in to my a Yahoo account for over 6 weeks, and I am hearing that they are in a |expletive| load of trouble right now. I don't know his many people rely upon them go their primary account, but if I did, I would be extremely upset right now.

My Yahoo Account is really important. I use Yahoo for my bradwilliamsphotography email, and website...

I use yahoo as my primary email account and haven't had any trouble. I suppose I will now though since I posted this.
My old signature got too old. So old it was getting almost as old me as me. Yeah, it was up there in years.

I have a yahoo acct for some of my ham radio stuff but I've since changed my password. Not too concerned about it since I maybe use it a few times a year.

I have a Yahoo! account for fantasy sports leagues and garbage stuff. My passwords are managed through LastPass, so it wasn't a big deal to change it, even though my account wasn't flagged.

Yahoo! announced last week that there was a compromise of user data:
