     I've seen a lot of what appear to be hijacked accounts reported in 
the past couple of weeks and the common item is then all seem to be 
Yahoo emails.  The fix most report is that they simply changed their 
Yahoo password.  No proof, but this is circumstantial evidence like some 
of the passwords on the Yahoo servers have been compromised.  It's 
probably a good idea for us all to change our Yahoo passwords.  Just an 
observation based on what I've seen here and also on other discussion 
groups . . . Yahoo emails seem to be the common denominator!
