How do you change your password on millsberry?

Why have I received a "Password changed" email from Yahoo when I didn't change my password?

• Hi - Just had problems signing in to my btinternet.com account via www.btyahoo.co.uk. I was unable to access my account as it was telling me that my password was incorrect. Whilst on the phone waiting for someone at BT to help, the account re-opened and I got the email below from Yahoo! Member Services [[email protected]] "Your password for this account has recently been changed. You don't need to do anything, this message is simply a notification to protect the security of your account. Please note: your new password may take awhile to activate. If it doesn't work on your first try, please try it again later. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. **************************************… You can always change your password by doing the following: 1. Sign in to your cobranded service 2. Go to your Member Center 3. Choose "Change Password" I didn't change my password and it's the same as it always was. Should I be concerned? Thanks.

• Answer:

  if you were able to login using your original password then its just a phishing scam. writing from what looks like Yahoo member services but is actually a bogus email to just make you think you need to re log in to your account and check you password. during this process, when you log in to a what looks like an authentic site. This site actually has key logger programs that will recall the username and password you typed in. Once they have your username, password to your email account they will be able to access it and look through your online banking, credit cards electronic statements and notifications. This is just the start of intelligence gathering for a persons account info. Remember scammers need the following important information. 1. Access to your primary email: email accounts store much information like which online banks you have accounts with. your Full Name, Billing address and phone number in case you still have old electronic receipts from previous purchases. 2. They can get more ways to access other accounts by using the gathered information above. Advice; 1. Delete old electronic receipts. 2. Use different email accounts for personal mail purposes, one email for just your online credit/financial accounts. another email for social networks (myspace etc). THE LESSER INFO THE HAVE THE BETTER, PLUS MORE EMAIL ACCOUNTS IS BETTER THAN ONE. AT LEAST YOUR SENSITIVE INFO IS STORE ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS. 3. Maintain your computer, delete your offline files, cookies, have a good security protection not just anti virus. Get total protection like mcafee 12 n 1, has anti spy, anti virus etc. 4. When using "a different pc" when accessing your online stuff. Be extra careful. You can always leave your footprints behind. clean up after using. More things to prevent identity theft but I don't want to write a manula for this, use common sense. good luck!
