Hi all,
Noticed funny things tonight when I signed into my Yahoo Mail (the new-style Ajax one). First I got an out of office reply from one of my friends who I didn't remember emailing lately. Second, got two delivery failure notifications that said a message I sent couldn't be delivered. The original email of each simply had a URL to two different LiveJournal pages (seen these types of messages filtered as spam before). Both had a number of recipients, all addresses I know or are in my address book on Yahoo mail.
The other funny thing is that the entire contents of my Sent Items folder in Yahoo mail is now gone, i.e. it's totally empty. I certainly don't remember doing that...!
This all looks a bit like trojans or viruses type activity but the thing is, I don't use a mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird, are there viruses etc. which can now spread via web-based mail clients like Yahoo? I'm doing a full windows defender scan right now and will do a full boot-time virus scan right after. Could this happen if I signed into my mail from another PC which is infected with something like this?
Cheers in advance,
8bit
