PSA

I know you guys are all internet-savvy people who know their way around the tubes, but just in case you're your grandpa, I did not send that email from my Yahoo account. My email got hacked, and I guess it's spamming everyone on my contact list.

How does it happen? Can you stop it from happening again?

I honestly don't know; it's not even an account I really used, which made it more perplexing and made me wonder if it was something on their end, not mine. I basically backed up the account and then shut it down. :(

You reckon if I route my Yahoo mail to my Gmail so I just Gmail, that might prevent future tampering?
