Logged in to my Yahoo mail account this morning and found a few odd things.

First of all, my Yahoo Mail Notifier plug-in for FireFox said i had no new messages when i actually had about 23.

Secondly, I had about 4 Mailer Daemon Postmaster Failure-To-Deliver messages amongst my spam.

I didn't think much of it at the time. Could have been a malfunction of the Yahoo Mail Notifier (it's happened before) and just your average Spammers trying to make me look at their message with a clever subject line.

But then i got an e-mail from my Cousin wanting to know if I had actually sent this to him because he didn't want to open it if it were a virus or something. Sure enough, I hadn't mailed him in YEARS.

So! Looks like my Yahoo mail has been compromised! Thankfully I haven't used it for storing an address book or anything since about 1998 or so. Password changed, hopefully damage will be minimal.

Grease fire in the kitchen. Nothing damaged, no one hurt, D&D will take place as scheduled, just a bit more "Smokey BBQ Flavored" than originally planned :)
