[lug] WARNING! My Yahoo email account was hacked this morning!

[Dru Whitledge]

Hmmmm. this of all places is where I would hope for some more detail. 
Most folks on this list are pretty techie and some terminally techie 
types who could help us all avoid the threat of what got you.

So, I assume that YOU also got an email with the -- "subject line 
"Enjoy!" and surely you didn't click on an unknown executable, but it 
got you anyway? Help us understand how it might get us. Have you 
identified what exactly did get you?

Mucho thanks,

Dru
