Just last week...I had to change my password.
My security software made me change it.
Got message:
Malicious website blocked
rating: dangerous

Another fellow RC'er said they had the same problem but spam emails went out of there email database.

Who else has had that problem???

The database could have been compromised and some of us may have been hacked as well.

Are you on hotmail? I get some 'spam' emails from friends that use hotmail suggesting that I check-out an online electronics store. The friends in question know nothing of this, but I've only had it happen to people that use hotmail...

Jammer ...no hotmail...Another Rc'er and I while were in a chat said ...they had to change there email password as well. Strange it happened to both of us in the same week? Just before the crash? What is common among us... is ... we are in a chat room sometimes all day. Giving a hacker enough time to work??? Just throwing out ideas.

Redclouder and Jammer thx for the replies!
