PLEASE IGNORE EMAIL/S SENT FROM THIS ACCOUNT YESTERDAY
Glen Bastes
Yesterday, I received an email from my Yahoo mail account, glenb...@yahoo.com, an email with a suspicious link. Unknowingly, I clicked on the link (shown with the forwarded email below) and was brought to a site.
Today, when I tried to login into my Yahoo Messenger
account using the referenced email account, I wasn't able to login and got a
from the YMessenger that my account was locked and I needed to change my
password.
Luckily, I was able to change my password to a new one. When I tried
checking on my sent items to verify and check if someone really used my account
to send a message, I did not see the copy of the email I received.
Upon checking my spam mails, I received an email from one of my friends, who happens to be on my contact list asking me if the link I sent to her email is legitimate (again, I did not send any email/s recently using this account). I also saw a couple of returned emails sent to my contacts, probably with already inactive emails.
Now, if you have received any email/s from me containing a link pointing to a "random" site hosted on sites.google.com, please delete it immediately and do attempt to open the link. I DID NOT SEND THAT EMAIL. It's either someone has sent an email disguising to be coming from glenb...@yahoo.com or my Yahoo account has been hacked (reason why I have not been using Yahoomail for emails since I discovered G-Mail - sorry Yahoo :( ).
Once again, my deepest apologies for whatever inconvenience this may have caused you. I have already reported this incident to Yahoo's Security Team and am sending a copy of this email to them as well. For future email communications with me, please use gba...@gmail.com or glenb...@gmail.com.
Thank you and have a great day!
