Mind you this is one reason I don't like webmail -- having separate email and web application means you have some separation of privilege and don't have to leave a webmail account logged in and able to be scripted by a malicious link. |
My sisters yahoo email and also a a friends yahoo email has sent me spam in the last 2 days. My old yahoo did it last year and sent spam to everyone in my contacts list which, unfortunately, included every member of the Australian Federal Parliament. I don't know how I got it, I don't open links in emails that are not trustworthy and even then I google them but the one my email sent out added a strange contact to my list and that was where the spams were coming from and being sent by and that is how it propogated itself even further.
