[NTLK] (no subject) -hmmm who ate the subject?

[Ed Kummel]

It really is embarrassing...I don't know how they did it...All my passwords are 16 random character passwords. So someone had to work really hard to get into my account. 

Either that, or my recently acquired Android phone (about 3 days ago) acquired some malware that captured my Yahoo login. Yahoo says that someone logged into my account from Croatia using the web site...Um...I've never been to Croatia, and isn't Croatia a known hacking haven?
Anyways, I have changed my password to 24 random characters and changed my questions to outright lies so nobody can guess them!
We'll see...I have not logged into my Yahoo account from my Android phone yet, and all is still OK. I'm a little gun shy though right now.

Yes. Either that or someone has spoofed his address and blanket posted spam from it.

I have notified Ed that his email address had been temporarily placed in moderated mode.
