Thankfully nothing has been going on with mine, other than when I checked it today it was full of two months worth of emails because I hadn't gotten on.

Despite its efforts to fix vulnerabilities, Yahoo’s Mail users continue reporting hacking incidents.http://thenextweb.com/insider/...g-hack ... dents/Also, did you notice this in the news yesterday:The United States stock market undergoes a flash crash of 1 percent when the twitter feed from the Associated Press news agency is hacked and erroneously states that several explosions have injured President Barack Obama.http://www.cnbc.com/id/100646197

@Keg, yeah I constanly change out my passwords and I don't click on odd or suspcious links which is where a lot of this junk is comming from according to Yahoo but then again Yahoo hasn't been exactly forthcoming with the truth lately.

I got two FB notifications last week on my phone that someone logged in from an unknown source. I changed the p/w and now require that they enter a code which is sent to my phone.
