Last night my email address was hacked......I am not in the UK.
I was on the computer but working in a different tab when I noticed I had a lot of new emails, so I clicked over and saw an email from Yahoo services that my security question was update, so I tried to sign in and my password didn't work (it had been changed too), so I immediately went in and changed my password and checked my security questions. Within a few minutes I received texts, phone calls, & emails letting me know that I was sending out strange emails...thanks for wonderful friends!!! I then called and sent texts and update my facebook status letting friends & family know my account was hacked. The biggest issue now is that all my contacts were deleted.....I went in to Yahoo services this morning to report the problem and saw that the actions I took last night were exactly what I was supposed to do, so now hopefully they will restore my contacts.
I'm the type of person who likes to find the positive or 'the good' in all situations....so, 'the good' in this one is that I've talked to or been in contact with friends I haven't spoken to in awhile.
