My Contact list got hacked! how do I stop the sex pill email links they are sending to my contacts?

Usually, the block on sending mail lasts for 24 hours - all you can do is wait it out. Meanwhile, change ALL your security information. 1.

FIRST, check that the alternate e-mail address/mobile phone number is still yours, under Options, Mail Options, Account Information, but then change the alternate address, so the hacker will not be notified of the change! Check the 'Reply To:' address, Vacation Response and other linked Mail accounts as well to be sure they are still yours. Check and delete any Contacts, accounts and linked social networking sites you do not recognize.

2. Then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make the password a long, strong one with mixed characters!

Length = Strength for passwords! Start with a sentence and make substitutions with numbers, symbols and punctuation. Go to "Update password-reset info" to change your Secret Questions and Answers.

Make sure they are unchangeable, unique, and easy for you to remember. For a Yahoo account, you can change your password at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw. If you can no longer access your account, you can get a new password at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/.

Warn them to change their passwords and scan for malware too, just in case.

(The limit is 100 addresses per mail, and 200 per hour, but send to far fewer than that in each message, just in case you trigger Yahoo's spam 'suspicious activity' detector.) Set up an alternate 'alias' account to use instead. This allows you to use a different address for sending, but still keep all saved mails and contacts and the first address active too for incoming mail. Your friends can trust this new address!

There is a choice of address in an arrow in the From: box. Also add a signature to your mail so your friends will be sure the mail is really from you ... http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias (alternate address) Changing your password also deletes the cookie which apparently inserts that sly trojan address grabber that sends spam to your Contacts list. If you used this password for other accounts, change them too - make every one different.

Make the password much longer than 8 characters, with mixed symbols. Usually, this is all you need to do, although mail will still be sent in the name of the old account for a short while - there's nothing you can do about that. Once spammers have a valid address, they continue to use it, even after the account is closed/deleted!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
