I've received dozens of Lam-Radio "List" emails where, in every case,
the respective Ham owns a YAHOO free email account and their account
password has been hacked/compromised. Literally Dozens just today.

Some people need to take some Internet Security classes comparable to the
studying they did to get licensed. Yahoo, for one, may lead the world,
along with Hotmail, in the frequency of which their "customers" get
Hacked on a per-year basis.

Many of us have auto-Spam-reject. Those compromised email addresses get
put on a Blacklist. Automatically. We don't see it happen and we don't
get email from our friends anymore either ... until we figure out they were
compromised and "Their" address sent out 100,000 Spam Emails, world-wide,
and garnered them a Blacklist status across the globe.
