Yes, unfortunately my Yahoo contact list was "hijacked" and emails were sent out yesterday. If you get anything from me (LaMonte Forthun) with no subject and a link, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Also, my Yahoo account wasn't hacked, but I believe a service (could be Facebook, Linked-In or something else) that allows users to connect to Yahoo to pull contact information in is what was actually compromised. Yesterday I saw on one email list I'm on at least five people that had that same problem. I've changed my Yahoo account password and all those contact links have been broken until, so it won't happen further, unless they actually downloaded the link to be used in the future.

I hope it didn't cause anyone any problems...
