Email account compromised..???
    #14706506 - 07/02/11 12:37 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I just got home from a beach trip and when i tried to log onto my Yahoo email, it said my password was invalid and then they said my email was compromised and it made me change my password.  What exactly happened?  i think it may b related to MT Gox getting hacked, but my password to my email was different then my gox account.  I dont get it

it made me change my password.  It was unusual because my blackberry was telling me to verify my email password to keep receiving emails.  It made me put in my old password, then my new password, but the page said "we believe your account has been comprised" something like that.  So i guess it was forcing me to reset my password on next log on.  Does this mean im being targeted for an attack?

Did you do business threw MtGox? I would contact yahoo. I would also, if you have anything sensitive, or potentially harmful involved whatsoever with that email account I would definitely deal with right away. Bank accnts, any other accnts, etc.. If you have other accnts that have the same password as that email accnt I would change, esp if it is associated with that email address.
