If i receive a spam email from MY SAME ADDRESS, is my yahoo account hacked?
-
Inside the email is fake MSN ad, which links to a spam site: tracking.msadcentre.msn.upforrolex.com I got it earlier in the week. I haven't sent a email from here lately (nothing in the 'Sent' folder) The sender can't be reported with the official yahoo form as it's my own address (Replying replys to myself!)

Answer:
Your contacts list may have been compromised.The best thing to do, Tell your friends not to click on any links in those email,as they will have virus/or worms attached You and your friends will need to do a full spyware scan,and check your contact list for email address/s that shouldn't be there,and remove them. Finally change your password,and make a note of your new one. this link helps to explain whats going on,just click on it to access. http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_ACCT&id=SLN2159&impressions=true Good luck.
