G'day,

I sent the email address below to JimB and thought I'd send it in to see if anybody else got it?

Regards,

Jim,

It appears that the Firefight email address has been compromised!

I separated the http:// from the rest of the URL so it wouldn't or couldn't load even if someone clicked on it.

Note the Russian Cyrillic letters at the bottom.

I to not have the firefight email address below in my Outlook data base so it could not have originated on my PC.

Regards,
Rob

There have been fairly recent hackings of large numbers of yahoo accounts which is likely the cause of the phishing and scamming messages supposedly coming from yahoo users.
