rather than deleting one when it is like that instead use that email address when signing up for things online or when ordering stuff that way if it gets on some spam list no harm it is already a spammed addy. Most people do just that then always have one address that is solely used for that type of action and never use their good main email addy for anything other than actual email with family and friends. however the way they turn into spammed addys is when you have people that forward email to you with exposed addys in the To field, the spammers start those just to have them spread like a fire and then they rake in all those email addys. Which is why everyone should use the BCC feature when emailing. I have many email addresses, one is yahoo which I rarely use but in all the years I have had it I have had maybe 4 spam. My hotmail which I use daily I get maybe 4-5 a week. Using the provided spam filters also helps and anytime you get a spam mail make sure to send it to the spam or junk folder rather than delete it so that the program can learn what is junk.

FYI.... A very short time ago, a friend of mine was a victim of this particular hack at Yahoo. I was listed in her contact list and all I can say is that this "nasty" is virulent. I don't use any Yahoo product and rarely, if ever visit their website. She is the only email friend I have that uses their email and even though we don't converse on a daily basis, just being one of her contacts made me a victim. I began to be barraged with unsavory mail...none of which I opened directly. But, no matter what protection I have on my system [and it's the best] I could not stop the onslaught. I suspect the reason being that I was not the addressee. The clever sender copied me rather than sending directly to my address. I tried every trick I knew to stop the mail...blocking IP #s, etc and nothing worked. My only recourse to stop the action was to delete my own email account entirely and begin a new. I'd had the account for sixteen years with nary a problem. Deleting it felt like loosing an old friend. Then I advised my friend to find another email program. Unfortunately, she didn't heed my advice and I expect she's been hit again. I insisted that she not put my new email address in her contact list so I may be safe this time around...but if not...the account I opened to continue conversing with her is what I consider a throw away account. I won't suffer if I have to close it quickly. Although...when I opened the new account to continue conversing with her...I made her promise not to list me as a contact anywhere on her system. I relate this experience for those of you...who like Jodi...are having difficulty resetting a password...and strongly suggest that you find new non-Yahoo email programs. As the unwitting recipient of my friends computer infection...I had to change all my accounts, etc and it's a task I wouldn't want to repeat. Anne

Keep calm folks. Less than 23,000 active accounts are affected. That's not many considering how many accounts are out there. They didn't hack the whole Yahoo email system like some want you to think."The most important part of this confirmation is that the swiped file is "old" and Yahoo believes less than 5 percent of the credentials are valid. This means less than 22,500 users are affected by this breach, according to Yahoo anyway." You should of course be changing your passwords on a regular basis anyway. Changing a password is easy: - Click Options, then click Mail Options - Click Account Information - Enter your password (at this point you can change a number of things) - Click Change your password, then enter your old password and your new password. You'll get an email confirmation when completed.
