Alan Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi, I heard from some friends yahoo! was hacked, and that they had said not to login to Yahoo! Webmail, as the ones who hacked it was using webmail mainly to send the virus to the End-User's PC which attacked the windows setup files or something like that? Anyone know if this is true? If so, is it safe to login to YahoO! Messenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandafields Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I looked through the news and could not find anything about it. Perhaps your friends single account was broken into or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl4nk Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I don't think that's Yahoo being hacked but rather your friend. If you get any suspicous emails with attachments or file transfers from YIM, I highly recommend you not to open it or save it if so. Unless I'm missing something in the news then yes, it's safe to go on to Yahoo Messenger -edit to late to hit reply, was working on something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
