e-mail address hijacked

[Possegal]

This happened to my hotmail a few months ago. Though it didn't delete the address book. But it sent to several work folks and that was a bit humiliating.

I have had yahoo for years...no issues (knock on wood!) I also backup my address book quite often. I have 2 other email addresses...each one has a "level of trust" with regards to who gets the address. I refuse to get yet another email address...my family would absolutely flip...they gripe everytime I change anything cause they have to go through all their drawers to find instruction books for techy devices so they can change the numbers, names, addresses...etc. hehe After a divorce it was necessary...I don't put them through that pain anymore! Now...I just religiously change my password quite often!!! Not bullet proof but it helps...

Same thing hit me. Me first clue was that I had an automated reply from PMC when I knew I hadn't e-mailed them. Then my husband asked if I had sent him a link. Address list gone.
