Something strange just happened! (I've changed the names to protect the innocent... LOL!)
I got an email from my best friend Trixie. She sent it to me using YAHOO mail. My email address is less than a week old, because I just switched providers.
Yahoo Mail placed an ad for themselves at the bottom of Trixie's email to me. It was very faint and small, with a couple of Yahoo links. I liked the font Trixie used, so I clicked on the link for "My Cool Fonts" at Yahoo Mail.
Now it starts getting weird. When I clicked on the link, a web page opened with the Yahoo Mail information, including a SIGN IN window. The information was already filled in (both username and password.) I thought that it was a nonexistent person so Yahoo could show their features to me. WRONG!
Next thing I know, I'm logged in to a real yahoo account!
(Lets call it unknownman@yahoo.com)
Not only that, but I see my father's name on one of the mail folders! I recognize the names of other people near my dad. Naturally, I signed out.
Please note that my computer was built from the ground up with all new components, including a new hard drive. Nobody other than myself uses my computer. I have never received an email from the above man. My friend Trixie is in another state and hasn't a clue who the man is.
Yahoo put the link on her email to me. Automatically.
This is very bizarre! Sounds like Yahoo has a security problem!
